that these were not the same churches that had led the anointment crusade for Kenyans to elect the duo.
Do we then assume that they may not have been speaking to the One and only God but to various gods that had specific agendas to capture power for their own infernal schemes, which when they started implementing, drew the ire of some churches.
Are Kenyans supposed to start imagining a god that speaks in many tongues and had sent Kenyans a confusing raft of messages that are incompatible with the promises that were made by the politicians who strode the pulpits with confidence and authority.
With a mortifying reality on the ground, Kenyans were forced to go back to the drawing board and reexamine what they thought they had voted for and what was daily unfolding before their own eyes which was misery upon misery.
So, when Baba called on Kenyans to oppose the government and protest the skyrocketing cost of living, he was speaking to duly chastised Kenyans who again had been duped and as usual it was not yet uhuru all over again.
Kenyans took a good look at what they had let themselves into and were shocked to realize they had not only lost their religious moral compass but had allowed a group of bible toting charlatans to convince them to auction their country. It dawned on Kenyans that the group of people that had been assembled around the new leaders had no intension of delivering on any of the promises they had made on the campaign trail which had been long and energetic.
The dynamic duo had promised that within the first one hundred days the country would see a transformation that the last regime had been unable to deliver in the last ten years. Gullible Kenyans enthusiastically lapped all this up.
Kenyans were informed that they had been rescued from the grip of a drunken evil era and to usher in the reign of the kingdom of heaven, bars and alcohol would be eradicated from government and special prayers were offered to sanctify the hallowed state house grounds.
It was particularly gratifying to note that the first lady was a prayer warrior who had testified of god’ s miracles in her life and the second lady was a pastor. The dynamic duo was thus spiritually fortified by their
Loyalty is a premium asset in politics and a leader that blatantly demonstrates that he will use and discard a partner is likely to sow a legacy of mistrust and suspicion and such a leader will not endear himself to other potential partners.
spouses, God was with and for Kenyans.
A red flag should have been raised when the duo began to vehemently blame the former administration for handing over empty coffers. Since the government raises money on a daily basis this should have signaled a clandestine and sinister motive.
While they were bemoaning the empty coffers and the crimes of the last regime, the hundred days passed and they deftly began to tell Kenyans that it would take a bit longer to fulfil their promises since they were appalled by how broke the government was.
Interestingly they began to live in largesse, quite contrary to the story they were selling to Kenyans. New fleets of limousines were being bought so that the new sheriffs in town could look grand and millions were set aside to refurbish state residences.
Two years down the line none of the campaign promises had been kept and, in some cases, just the opposite was the case. The price of fuel skyrocketed and electricity rates were hiked and a period of official arrogance started.
The one promise that irked Kenyans was the one about taxes dropping so that the life of the average Kenyan would be significantly improved. When the exact opposite happened, it earned the anointed one the moniker Zakayo.
That was when the disillusioned public lost any lingering credibility they may have had with their leader and they branded him a liar. Of all the epithets that Kenyan leaders have been called none had so far managed to irritate the public into being called a liar.
Nobody, even a liar, likes to be called a liar and this branding has bruised the leader’ s ego and irritated his confidants because they actually don’ t have a plausible rebuttal to the accusation and it is fodder for the opposition.
All attempts to convince the public that Kenyans must pay higher taxes to rescue the country from being declared insolvent by the international community or so his lieutenants would have us believe, have fallen on barren ground.
The main reason being that the anointed one has borrowed in two years more than the previous regime did in ten years yet there are no major infrastructure developments that he has initiated and was recently ridiculed by his former deputy for launching transformers.
This was the person who had castigated the former regime during his electrifying campaigns of having an insatiable appetite for loans that were to burden Kenyans for generations to come. Incongruence between a leader’ s words and actions are unacceptable.
A leader cannot afford to appear unaccountable by borrowing such a huge amount of money and then shroud the dealings in secrecy as this invites speculation and allegations of corruption, especially when accompanied by higher taxation.
Rather than look for a plausible reason why his administration had failed to deliver on their promises, his inner circle got offended by the constant criticism and decided to use force as a response to a simple communication problem.
It was totally lost to the inner circle that the electorate had chosen the leaders to serve them not to lord it over them. They completely forgot that from the outset half the voters had not endorsed their win and would perpetually find faults.
The best way to win over the voters who did not vote for you is to succeed and deliver on your promises since this would delight your voter and get a grudging admiration from your opponents. That delicate balance was lost to the inner circle.
