Don’t take blindly what they tell you on BBI, it’s just political posturing

Coined as far back as 1758, the quote, which in its original form reads “...among the calamities of war may be jointly numbered the diminution of the love of truth, by the falsehoods which interests dictate and credulity encourages..” is as true now as it was then. Nothing approximates a season of war like a season of political contestations.

As we head to Kenya’s big contest in 2022, all elements of war, sans physical violence exist. And even the latter may not be far off. We have troops and their generals. We have resisters, loyalists and continuous recruitment. And most of all we have the ultimate weapon of all war, propaganda.
