You’re Innocent Until Proved Guilty

“You’re Innocent until proved guilty!” That is the catchphrase in Nairobi these days; whether you are a member of parliament hounded by corruption and drug-traffing allegations, or a son of a chief warrior in Mr. Ocampo’s cross-airs, rest easy in your official chair, “you are innocent until proved guilty!” The phrase is so cool that it whitewashes most of your guilt. If you are an MP, any traces of guilt are taken care of by friends in parliament, who have the power to change any law. Kenyan’s, we are in interesting times.
