Opiyo Wandayi claimed they had agreed a deal with matatu operators to end the strike and even said there were no questions only for one of the matatu leaders to go live moments later and completely contradict him.

"48 Laws of Power" are terrible principles to live by. They encourage duplicitous, manipulative. overly competitive and unaccountable behaviour. DYK Robert Greene never meant to encourage them as leadership principles, he was merely describing the worst of management practises. #NenoMoja theguardian.com/books/2012/dec…
