There is infighting at the anti-corruption commission. This was after EACC CEO Halakhe Waqo revoked suspension of his deputy Michael Mubea hours after chairman Mumo Matemu sent him on forced leave. Two commissioners of EACC have written to the President calling for the sacking of their chairperson Mumo Matemu.The two, Jane Onsongo and Irene Keino accuse Matemu of incompetence and lack of vision.
While on KTN, Matemu said there is no trouble at EACC and they are working as a team . But the two…Onsongo and Keino have been accused of favoring the Chicken scandal and Sholei case culprits. All in all, Here is the solution to our moribund Anti-Corruption commission.
If you start with a cage containing five monkeys, and inside the cage hang a banana on a string from the top, and then you place a set of stairs under the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the banana.
As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray ALL the monkeys with cold water.
After a while another monkey makes an attempt with the same result — ALL the monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.
Now, put the cold water away. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new monkey. The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs. To his shock, ALL of the other monkeys beat the Monkey Crap out of him.
After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.
Next, remove another of the original five monkeys, replacing it with a new monkey. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment — with enthusiasm — because he is now part of the “team.”
Then, replace a third original monkey with a new monkey, followed by the fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked.
Now, the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs. Neither do they know why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.
Finally, having replaced all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys will have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, not one of the monkeys will try to climb the stairway for the banana.
Why, you ask? Because in their minds, that is the way it has always been!
This, fellas, is how today’s Leaders operate ; and this is why, from time to time.
ALL of the monkeys need to be REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME !
If Matemu has to Go then the Keino’s and Onsongo’s must also go. We know the rot and they are not clean. Let all monkeys go home because replacing the monkeys periodically will lead to Monkey Business
Wait …We can also blow up the Cage which in this case happens to be the EACC
