The ongoing maandamano (demonstrations) provide the sad reality that a country that worships God is degenerating into chaos. Has Moses overstayed up Mount Sinai and left us in the desert all alone? Are we losing faith in God who promised us life, life to the fullest?

The Old Testament story of the Israelites becoming impatient with Moses because he had taken too long to come down from the Mountain resonates well with our situation. The Israelites quickly gathered themselves and made gods since the God of Moses was too far away for their comprehension.
