New mistakes, old disasters we elected are ready for duty - fleecing Kenyans

When the term of the 12th Parliament ended two months ago, I wrote here that the brigands had gone home, but we will pick another lot to continue with their wicked ways.

That might have been harsh, to brand elected representatives -people who are supposed to pass legislation to make ours a better nation - thieves, bandits, robbers or thieves. But truth be said, that is what they are, and unlike other timid robbers who try to hide their weapons and intentions, the ones we elect to Parliament are bold and shameless; they are the look-you-in-the-eye-while-I-steal-from-you type.
