When Us President Barrack Obama wants to make any decision first he goes to the Library in order to know what the former US President used to do because that is apart of history.
Back home in Kenya our leaders especially youthful politicians don't care about history because majority of them are enemies of history and books
In the past few days there had been outcry over Mps greed over send off package and nobody had come up with solution or suggestion why those law makers wants to steal from kenya in the name of package.
Politicians stealing from public is not new in Kenya it start off during Kenyatta regime and later moved to Moi and is still hunting Kibaki regime.
In his prophetic book Devil on the Cross Prof Ngugi wa Thiong detailed corruption and stealing among Kenya businessmen and Politicians.
After Uhuru sons of the former home guard used there brothers and kinsmen to borrow money from banks to buy land and form land buying companies which was original way of corruption
According to the Devil on the Cross condition of borrowing from the bank was that you borrow Ksh 15,000 and Ksh 5,000 remains to the bank clerk as bribe
This means that you are given the loan of cash Ksh 15,000 which you need to pay but what is in your pocket is only Ksh 10,00 and what you need to do is to steal from other Kenyans to pay by forming fake land buying companies.
Historically thief's who formed land buying companies later becomes businessmen before moving to parliament buying buying voters.
Both during Kenyatta regime and Moi regime majority of parliamentarian bribe there way to parliament using huge some of money.
Ones they enter into parliament instead of working for voters and there respective areas they look for away of stealing in order to recover there money which they used to buy voters.
What is happening is that majority of the current Mps used a lot of money which they steal during 2007 election and they what to steal in order to recover and they only way to deal with them is to look for the source in order to block them.
Going to the street will not help but the only way to to read history and find away of dealing with corruption among our politicians who are semi thief's,
For those who had read Devil on the Cross understand the source of evils in the Kenya society starting from offices to public work, on the street , churches and academia were bribe, sex and money speaks making poor to remain poor and rich to become more rich, and that is why Moi regime detain Ngugi and ban his book.
The only way to make Kenyans understand corruption and other evils in the society is to return Devil on the Cross to our School and Universities as a set book because it is already a set book in Uganda and it has also been published under classic.
My call to Kenya politicians and members of the public to read more books especially those which were ban by both Kenyatta and Moi in order to understand the evils of corruption.
