Kenya is a den of thieves managed by a State-sanctioned conglomerate. Everyone steals or is scheming on how to steal. This results in a vicious cycle of robberies and subsequently poverty which is supported by a collective conspiracy of silence.Let’s face it. Thieves abound in Kenya’s by-lanes, backstreets, garbage dumps, informal settlements, leafy suburbs, public and private offices, along the highways, potholed roads, paths, walkways, in the villages, shopping centres, towns, cities et al.The sad reality is that Kenya is saddled with an easily corruptible Legislature that only shouts its way toward emptying the public coffers, an egocentric Executive that endlessly investigates its own failures then gives only excuses not reasons or results, an overrated Judiciary that is not only, to coin a phrase, below reproach and is engulfed in internecine wars within the corridors of injustice and a vacuous, incoherent and easily excitable Fourth Estate that does not ask questions and is governed by media bodies that lack both the communication skills and mental capacity to explain their existence.The biggest problem is that all of them keep pointing fingers at one another. When they are done blaming one another for their incompetence, they blame foreign powers at whose feet they privately genuflect, begging bowls in hand, and which probably give ordinary Kenyans more assistance than they do.Now that Nandi Hills MP [Dis]honourable Alfred Kiptoo Keter was caught on camera spewing vile language and threatening staff, the next thing he will do will be to yap that money has been poured and that Kalenjins are being targeted. Before we know it, it will be a tribal affair and since we like dancing to any tune without asking which band is playing, we will sink into more idiocy. Slowly. Painfully.
