This is the one of the things I can’t fathom about Kenya and Kenyans in general. Roughly 70% of us are literate to a level where we can competently deduce, deduct and rationalise on many logically challenging topics of modern life. You will be surprised how many Kenyans appreciate Greenhouse, Human rights, Gender rights, Equitable sharing of resources and even Separation of Powers and Governance. Many other African Counties citizens can only marvel and envy our heights of awareness.
Yet with all this wherewithal we are held hostage and captive by religious charlatans and witchdoctors, some of whom have never seen the inside of a classroom.
These religious demagogues being cognisant of our unquestioning royalties take full advantage and even have the temerity and audacity to forbid all criticism of their persons or their teachings however ridiculous or unreasonable.
My particular bone of contention with them is when they keep demanding more and more money from their impoverished flock and they keep on accumulating and evermore enriching themselves.
I think time is right for Kenyans to start questioning these people just like we interrogate other cadres and professionals.
