Cemetery land: Mudavadi not about to ship out

It is no surprise that politicians have been uncharacteristically silent. And just as well. With only a handful paying tax, they cannot assume the moral high ground to pontificate on stewardship of public resources. In failing to pay taxes, they are complicit in corruption and cannot cast the first stone.

You can bet that the current storm over Mr Mudavadi will fade soon. Like dry grass, Kenyans burn intensely with fury and die out just as fast. It bears reminding to remember that politicians are like bananas; none is hardly ever straight.
