The rest – the vast majority – of the money would have gone into the pockets of the candidate’s trusted agents. That is the question: How many of Kenya’s candidates for State House are morally – and even intellectually – unimpeachable? The ethico-intellectual emptiness of our society is faithfully reflected in what goes on in our legislative Houses – including even in the National Assembly. The ability to sway the voting mass, especially by means of a socially educated and historically knowledgeable tongue, would, of course, be the other factor. Kenya’s problem number one, then, is that all of us are on our knees worshipping the currency.
