ORIANG': Moi may be gone, but his ‘wisdom’ is still amazing

At some point, it became fashionable to sing a chorus about youthful leadership. The scales have fallen from my eyes lately. Age really is just a number and no safeguard against folly.

Getting Mr Moi out of State House was the easy part. Getting rid of the Moi school of thought will take more than a generational change. Do not destroy the Bado Mapambano tape just yet.

His lieutenants persist in the belief that national resources belong to no one in particular and are, therefore, up for grabs.

If they do not have their way, they fall back on the master plan – which is to threaten to rain destruction on anyone who stands in their way.

The rest of Kenya has a choice to make: It can roll over and play dead or stare the presumed untouchables in the eye and tell them to go to hell.
