The struggle for reforms can never be smooth. Many people, dating to Mosaic times, are comfortable with status quo.

Just like the Israelites who condemned Moses for getting them out of Egypt, Kenyans are in the same situation. The reform path looks steep and confusing. More than 90 per cent of the MPs are beneficiaries of status quo, the so-called old constitutional order that created five millionaires and five million beggars if I may borrow JM Kariuki’s analogy.
