Political poker, hot air, hustlers and dynasties: That was 2022

Like most years, 2022 was a mixed bag of fortunes for most Kenyans.

We retired a former president, elected a new one and lost a former one to eternal sleep.

We celebrated a peaceful handover of power and mocked former president Uhuru Kenyatta when his anointed political successor was walloped in the August 9 elections. We mocked William Ruto when he was humiliated in the run-up to the last election then celebrated his hand-won and surprising victory in the polls.
