Brood of new blood that wants more of our blood

Former Transport Minister Amos Kimunya was spot on when he dismissed his constituents as a thankless lot. Apparently, amnesiac voters in Kipipiri had forgotten all the good he had done and decided to go for new blood. PointBlank can understand Kimunya’s pain. Here was a man who once stood firm and declared that he would not resign— for the sake of his people — and that he was even ready to die rather than resign.

After briefly watching the televised parliamentary proceedings yesterday, PointBlank couldn’t help but crave for the “old blood”. Here was a House packed to the brim with, fresh-faced, enthusiastic brood of new blood that is determined to drink more of our  blood — taxpayers’ money. They want higher pay by all means possible. Wouldn’t it have been better to have the “devil” we knew?
