NAIROBI, Kenya- Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is a perfect example of a single-use item; disposable items designed to be used once and damped.
Used he has been and now it’s time to be discarded. If he expected to be indispensable, the reality is hitting home way faster about what his kind are capable of and in his own words, a theatre of the absurd.
Not a long while back though, the deputy president was constituting the exact flock that marauds him currently, speaking out of turn on the former President in a not-so-admirable manner.
The 13th House felt a type of way for being referred to as a theatre of the absurd.
However, that house covers all the characteristics of an absurd theatre.
The legislature is so removed from reality that even the Gen Z-led protests didn’t seem to shed some light into the harsh realities that everyday living presents an average Kenyan with.
The August House keeps enacting laws that reduce the quality of life or simply don’t help and have nothing to do with improving life quality, while they swim in opulence and display no remorse for the absurdity that defines them.
And, unlike a theatre where scenes are acted out, this is a real-life situation of our representatives.
The Deputy president couldn’t put this any better and though he tried explaining the context of his statement, it doesn’t help in any way.
The said is true and even more. The political trivializes important issues and the self-serving matters take center stage.
When it stands to benefit a few individuals then it gets all the attention it can amass. Our political representatives are a spectacle to all and sundry and the neighbors and in the past few months, it hasn’t been in a good way.
They’re the bad example in other August houses and a ridicule at home. Infamous even with the most young generation of this century, inconsequential and undesirable.
The fate of the Deputy president is to be known in a few days but as the kiswahili saying goes, ukiona cha mwenzako cha nyolewa chako kitie maji, the politicians should be a wary lot as many more impeachments take place and the Deputy presidents’ serves as a premonition of what could befall any of them at any point.
