Marende has been out in the wilderness for some time, starving and being chased to pay for the consequences of some youthful p***y he enjoyed without rubbers. Out of the blue, he has been handed a lifeline. It is said that: A wise man knows what to lick and when to lick. (Here, that would Uhuru's.) We can now see why he was once praised for "Solomonic wisdom".
Wamalwa too will soon be singing the same song. Supposedly on behalf of "our people", but they are never to be seen when there is serious eating to be done.
Fortunately for the politicians, each group of "our people" is 100% reliable: like auto-lemmings rushing towards the edge, they can always be relied on to vote for "our man" so that "our people too can eat in government". Over and over again, even if they never see a crumb.
