You can have the best laws, constitutions etc but it will amount to nought as long as the values do not change.

CT and Manyora just joked about Easter in this episode. The real issue is that as the whole world celebrated Easter... In my opinion, Kenya did not celebrate Easter because the political stone has not been removed. Like Mary Magdaline.. Kenyans are asking who will roll the stone of political darkness away for us.

The late president Mwai Kibaki had a cabinet that talked less and did more. In real life, people who spend more time talking normally have little time, if any, for other things.

Ruto was right. He was smart enough to name this, 'bottom up'. Now we know we are starting again at the bottom and Rigathi has to be the one to divulge to the crabs that climbing up from this economic bucket (or wheelbarrow) will have his 'company shareholders' starting up first. Apparently, half of the crabs don't belong to this RigG company limited (limiting?). How many crabs will get up to the rim of the wheelbarrow bucket with the jostling and down-pulling to re-invent the wheel on the wheelbarrow? You guessed right...Zero! Unless we invert the wheelbarrow (not overthrow it)...and level the playing field so the National conversation is lateral rather than vertical, where only sensible citizens dialogue on the true bottom-up and middle-out, and politicians are prevented from making another top-down handshake (or come-we-stay).
