The Waiguru vs NYS Saga Vs The Govt' of the day Vs The institutuions -link to NYS Saga is a very interesting epic case study for generations in near future if not an epic movie. I would love to sit in one of the political class 101 in 10-15 years time.
It's where all mix good and bad interplay in terms of Ethics-Mafia-Opportunity Cost-Poor institutions-Ingenuity-Sycophancy-Corruption and so forth.
What makes it more interesting is the players involved. They are small fish & big fish as well.If you put White Sharks,Gold/Cat fish,Dolphins and even Blue sharks at the same designated waters definitely some will end up dead while others running as far away from the "hot zone".
So what makes these kind of players in NYS saga find themselves in this "hotzone".
It's called GREED! Top it up with some Pride + Power =Self Destruction.
Self destruction is perfected by self preservation and nothing personal just business realization. It's called reaching a point of no return when pushed to the edge. Yes Ms Irungu guilty or not of her deeds has been pushed to the precipice and falling from grace to bottom is just a matter of pooling others so as to cushion the landing consequences literally.
It's very telling that some of the big fish started as VIP in GOVT', then a Power broker, then part of insider circle...with haste to whistle blower roles to early retirement ..to an aspirant of Governorship ...soon after to being "whistle blowered" and being alleged to be the Mastermind of NYS scandal. This is about coming full circle not reinventing one self! it's just mind wrecking if you think about it?
These are the times...that this country needs some serious national pride searching.
Without deviating from subject matter, this comes down to the way our society functions. Capitalism per excellence.
On a lighter note we are yet to even touch other scandals in the making. I believe some river wood/holly wood directors need to start scouting for rights from Kenya film board to do a movie/documentary of 21st century of Success amidst murky cartels in Kenya runaway financial trench lines. They can make a kill...and toss the hit records of likes of the wall street,The insider etc to archives.
it's very nolstagic that Goldenberg came and went. Anglo leasing is still on our shadows lurking,Not to mention CBK-Delarue contracts ,Kengen contracts etc.
Whats in the near future ; railway-SGR project,Lamu Port,Oil Processing/contracts ...and ooh 2017 election polls.
Unfortunately that's the Kenya we live in . I do wish we turn a new leave but oops not that quick...we have to pay for we are part of the problem and lets lay on the thorns we gathered back in 2012.
No pun intended!
Live your life well, don't settle nor conform to people expectations. It's one of the best way to live life full of bliss and contentment.
