Kandara Member of Parliament Alice Wahome addresses a press conference alongside other UDA politicians in Kisii town in May. Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi, aka Ma-DVD, cheeks looking chubbier and shinier, lifted a water bottle and tilted it to his mouth. “This is the bottom,” he pointed to the base of the bottle, cheeks puffing joyfully, “Bottom up means mtu anameza kila kitu” (swallowing everything). And for providing such unvarnished truth, Wahome stands out as a paragon of virtue in a sea dominated by deceitful politicians. And Kenyans would do well to remember the words of Mali’s founding President Modibo Keita: “When citizens of a nation deem their most accomplished thieves as the most electable then they lose the right to complain when theft becomes their national creed.”Share this story
