A string of insults, a bag of foul language, blaring character assassination and the speech still ends with “God Bless Kenya!” How is God supposed to fit comfortably in such a dark sentence?
Such is the conflicting form of our politicians’ speeches. Their boldness to accuse others of moral failures, while they themselves have a forest of logs in their eyes, is often dizzying.
