Kenya’s political scene is both comical and pathetic. Comical because deceptions seem so blatantly obvious that no one would be expected to believe any of it. Except, we all consistently do believe in screeching lies. That’s the pathetic part.

If a lunatic TV station made the shocking breaking-news that several prominent men have been incorporated into the leadership of Women’s Guild in the spirit of unity, Kenya seems to be so gullible that it would not question the obvious. The leader of men, Funa, forced to clarify the unexplainable, would tell us that the men appointed do not represent the Men’s Association but have opted to join the Women’s Guild in their personal capacity. That, even though they appear to be blessed with a chance to opulence and arrogance, it was without Funa’s blessings or that of the partying men he leads.

Funa, the master of speech, would successfully herd us to discuss ones freedom to make a decision in a personal capacity but not the glaringly inherent absurdity, incoherence, ludicrousness and immorality even, of the decision itself. As if we had extra capacity to take in more shock, the Master of the ideology that paints Funa orange through and through would rubber stamp his absurdity in broad daylight. It’s at this juncture that comical transitions to pathetic.

Men who have told us that their political ideology is diametrically opposed to their political arch rivals’ are now cozying up to another in the name of ‘unity’. Oil will have to mix with water for this is a moment for unity, they tell us. The crisis at hand calls for Lions to collaborate with Hyenas for the sake of unity, they insist. The unity that benefits who, I ask for the Gullible Kingdom?

Let me winnow the chaff, Gen Z has rattled the political class and this unholy amalgamation now emerging is a desperate attempt to stand in the way of an inevitable generational handing over of the instruments of leadership in this youthful nation. I soberly submit, this is unity yes but unity of the Kenyan political class of fierce divergent “eating” ideologies against Gen Z. It’s the unity of the past against the future. The sunset against the sunrise. The lies against the truth.

In a previous article, I made the case that the Parliament was swelling with numbers able to impeach the President after they smelled the exhaust gases under the bus courtesy of the deaf President. So, to save himself, a man who told us that Kenya was collapsing because of a “mongrel of a government” that didn’t not have an opposition has instantly become the Chief Architect of the mongrels of mongrels. When he was drunk with yellow, a mongrel government was an agent of collapsing Kenya, but as President, a mongrel of a government is the instrument of a prosperous future.

Let’s not forget that we are on the third week of an incomprehensible rollercoaster set up in the State House. Some have not recovered from the Presidential edicts that has confounded a nation and the inhabitants of the earth after appointing men and women Ruto had fired a few days ago. Yes, fixated is the nation on how and why one eats that which he just vomited? But that was just the beginning. The nation is vertigo-ed by the rapid change of mind of one insisting that he is In- Charge. Yeah, soon after returning the vomited to the force, he in a few sunrises later moves the man to the forest and the one appointed to legal codes moved to foreign travels. This is how man In-Charge looks like. It’s comically pathetic and pathetically comical.

If Parliament, that we have loudly said is not representative to, in a figure of speech clears men to join the Women’s Guild, we need to change our Nation’s name from Kenya to Gullible Kingdom: because we are comically gullible.

But even so
Whatever happens
Yesterday always gives way to a new dawn
Sunset can never cling to the horizon
Sunrise can never be held back
Gen Z is risen
Their day cannot be tacked away
The youth is a man
The scavenger is a hunter
The man has summoned himself to his domain
A King taking his rightful throne
That’s the winnowed truth!
