I wanted to write about the tomfoolery surrounding the "new government of national unity" that brought two old friends-turned-foes-turned-friends again, but the unanimous revolt and revulsion from Kenyans suggested they said all there was to be said and then some.

So I will not revisit the marauding gangs that robbed Kenyans in broad daylight within the city and its environs, shaking down citizens as they went about their lives, pulling them out of matatus, breaking into vehicles that were still on the move, or carting away wares from hardware in the full glare of police officers. It underlines the government's commitment to what they call the "rule of law."
