As we speak today, Kenyan politics remains the graveyard of imagination because the people who rule this country keep becoming billionaires without building anything that can honestly be called industry.
Take Rigathi Gachagua as an example.
He is a billionaire today, yet when you ask what serious industry he owns, what factory he built, what product he created, what export empire he established or what invention changed people’s lives, the answer disappears into tenders, land, proxies and state access.
If you want to track stolen Kenyan money today, stop looking for complicated explanations and just follow the plots, the sudden apartments, the ranches, the malls, the relatives and the proxies who become rich without any visible enterprise.
Kenya’s political class has perfected the art of turning public office into private land, then calling the proceeds investment.
Now look at gambling and ask yourself why almost all politicians are linked to betting, Aviator style addiction and gambling companies that drain poor Kenyans every day.
A young man loses his last fifty shillings chasing fake hope on his phone, while the same political class that ruined the economy stands behind the machinery taking the money.
From Ruto to Gachagua and the wider political class around them, the problem is not just corruption but a total lack of creativity.
These people are not creative enough to build industries, so they build gates around public money and charge Kenyans to pass through their own country.
They do not create value for citizens, they create access for themselves, and when they gather in one place, you are not looking at leaders with ideas but at the easiest industry in Kenya for people whose only real talent is extracting money from poor citizens without shame.
