Why should Kenyans queue for what's right?

A picture is worth a thousand words, we're told. The frontpage photo on the Christmas Day Standard grabbed my attention and occupied my thoughts for most of that day.

It showed thousands of men, young and old, in some remote Kisii village lining up in an orderly fashion to receive wheat flour from their Member of Parliament. The MP almost outdid Jesus in feeding the multitudes, and The Standard journalist like the Evangelist Matthew, only found it fitting to record the presence of men.
