Power Plays and Where the Buck Stops


‘The buck stops here’ an inscription on the walls at Harry Truman’s office, a self guided and instructed statement that described the character of a man in the person of the president and the acceptance, cognition of the huge responsibility that his office shouldered.

Not only that but harry Truman knew very well the need to shoulder that responsibility and the fact that he is accountable to the people of the former political and economic empire that was U.S.A.
That behooves me to call into silence the ‘o happy naïve’ rag dolls -citizens of Nairobi who have been directing their congratulation on war on graft to the wrong quarter- office of the DPP. The correct address should be guarded gates of statehouse.

There sitting is the son of the 1st president of the republic ,and now president, whose father is credited with a nation plunder characterized by state-patronized corruption and wanton, unchecked looting of public resources.

The 1st president orchestrated the stealing by servant thing that employment in public service was seen as reward for people for a dip into the public coffers-and of course with a regular handout(commission sort of)to the benefactor politicos that fixed one the employment.

The son of the deceased 1st president being the beneficiary of his father’s looting lunacy is wealthy enough (in little need of material acquisition of property) and well poised to stop further damage by the rest of the wannabe mass looters. He therefore is not so much predisposed to stealing as his father had already done the dirty job for him. He is therefore in a better position to conduct the damage control and kill this corruption dragon clipping at the neck of a nation. This is where the buck stops now.

Now that he has taken a pugilist’s stance on lords of grafts and the yelling and yapping is all over the streets, the naïve natives, sons of  poor men are giving glory to the DPP.
