The case for expulsion of six senators from the ruling party is an eye opener for us who dream of an enlightened and self-reliant populace.
These MPs are joyriders in the Jubilee Party. They have demonstrated in words and deeds that they left the Party a long time ago.
Yet, they are not principled enough to welcome their ouster for fear of loss of salary, high perks and other privileges.
A calling to serve
The case teaches us to make elective positions, financially, unattractive. That’s when people with a calling to serve will join elective politics.
Just, listen to video clips of the late Tom Mboya to acknowledge that we had people with a calling to serve.
We, still, have them, but eclipsed by dishonest dealers, disguised as political leaders. Elected leaders with a calling to serve will end corruption in their first year in the Legislature.
