We have seen less scandals since 2018 because the chief scandal exposer was a threat to the incumbent and his plan to expand the dynasty. This exposer, with his hundreds, possibly thousands of informers planted firmly in strategic government positions, was excellent at his job. He blew open the Naivasha land SGR scandal, something someone thought was impossible to uncover, but which turned out to be the last straw. So what does that someone do? Kusalimiana.
Salimiana with the guy, pewa credo hapa na pale, promise SGR to Kisumu, next most vocal lieutenant of the exposer akapewa management of SGR container terminal without a competitive bidding, wengine pewa hivi hapa na pale. Exposer akadanganywa na refurbished MGR and even had the audacity to call it an SGR when he was addressing his followers huko mahali walifika nayo when everyone knows it was a repainted lunatic express. It didn't take a week for it to derail. But since politics is about interests, the exposer didn't mind the project, bora minofu ziko mbele.
Heneway, what I'm trying to put across is that someone was very good at keeping the govt on toes but because of desperation, he had to join and sit at the eating table. Imagine another msoto five years like between '13 -'17? Scandals zinafichwa sahii would make the 2013-2017 ones look like child's play. 2025 onwards ndio zitakua in the public domain regardless of who takes over in August.
