So today, on Page 13 of the Nation, the political soap opera has taken a turn straight out of a Kenyan version of Tom and Jerry. Only difference isβboth Tom and Jerry are not chasing each other around a kitchen, they’re chasing relevance in a bread-based government where some people are getting slices, others are smelling crumbs.
Tom, the elder brother with ambitions bigger than a wheelbarrow factory, received a high-voltage call from The Big Man himself. Not a polite βhelloβ, but one of those calls that makes your ears sweat.

He was warned in no uncertain terms:
“We can smell your intentions all the way from State House. Donβt try to elope with our bride (aka the electorate), we know you’re secretly cooking a party on the side. Choose your side now, or weβll show you bad things!”
Tom was left shaken like a leaf in Nyandarua wind.
Heβs now trying to act loyal, even though his heart is already packing bags and sending party invites.
Meanwhile, Jerry, his younger political brotherβthe one who believes health is his birthrightβhas decided enough is enough!
Heβs spoiling for a fight. According to Jerry:
“Thereβs no way Iβll let them take my health docket. After all, my votes were the magic ingredient that made this bread rise. Now that thereβs a new political partner warming the sheets, theyβre treating us like goats ready for slaughter!”
So now, we have a situation where:
βοΈ Tom is pretending to be loyal but buying party balloons in secret,
βοΈ Jerry is sharpening his claws, ready to scratch whoever touches his hospital plans,
βοΈ And the Big Man is holding the bread knife, watching all this drama unfold with a cup of tea.
Buana in Kenya you canβt rest. I need someone who has not used their 1k we share as we read the drama.
