Impunity allows different laws for the rich and poor

Reading between the lines of the conversation last week, Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja successfully disappointed many people. The set of incidents and the way he handled them offer life and leadership lessons. 

Arrested on Saturday night at the Seraph Ladies Lounge well into curfew hours, the senator threatened law enforcement officers with transfers while in overnight custody and declined to obey the following day’s summons. Returning to the police station on Monday, he made a public apology and one day later pleaded guilty before the Kasarani Stadium special court and paid a Sh15,000 fine.
