Lamentations of a 'Mwananchi wa Kawaida.'

.....and so it has come to pass that the whole grand coalition was nothing more than a grand conspiracy to cover up the continuum that is 'corruption in Kenya'. They had very little to do with the...'For a just society and the fair government of men'...they claimed to uphold.
They have come up with various tools to get work done e.g. 'House Committees', 'Commissions of Enquiries', 'Parliamentary Committees', 'Presidential Commissions', etc
only because they know these tools are the wrong ones. They know that working with the wrong tools has the visual effect of 'being seen to be busy' while actually nothing is being accomplished-' just like bringing down a mugumo tree with a razor blade!!!'
I say Kenyans! Let's wake up and take off the blind-fold! These fellows have only themselves in their sights, their wallets and those of their kin and kith! How can parliament be left to decide which Cabinet minister/member gets investigated, who gets fired, who needs to step aside to facilitate investigations? I say all of them need to do just that, and KACC be given a free hand to do its work.
My only worry; Is the said KACC yet another poorly designed tool for the regime? Is it secure enough in its tenure? Is it 'teethed' enough to carry on its mandate? What about the newly found 'stone' of 'State Secrets Act' rolling onto the corrupt affairs of public officials like Ministers and PSs, will KACC be allowed to turn these 'stones' or will it be infringing the 'State Secrets Act'? If witnesses to corruption will be Ministers or PSs, will these be muzzled/gagged by the newly invigorated 'Principles of collective responsibility'?
Me says all these reminds the parliamentarians that 'it is their turn to eat' and so, they will 'eat and let eat' ad terminus parliamentary aevum (Latin for end of parliamentary term?)
And I stand to be corrected.......
