It's curious how life has become unbearable for many Kenyan households while those in government make millions in under 22 months. It's unnerving that some cabinet nominees say they made part of their big fortune from payment of pending bills yet so many Kenyans have lost life and property because they traded with the government and years later, they are yet to be paid. This sorry state of affairs finds its most eloquent expression in the auction yards across the country. Lives and families have been destroyed by a government unwilling to pay for goods and services it consumed.
