The Central Bank’s record of what we owe and the National Treasury’s record of the same debt differ by more than Sh6 trillion.

Sh6,164,439,173,574. This is a number in Kenya’s public accounts that should stop the entire country cold, yet almost nobody is talking about it. Money is never lost. It is spent on people who prefer that you cannot follow it.

Raila Odinga was never known for giving handouts at political rallies. He openly denounced tokenism, castigating leaders who paid youths or women to fill venues, cheer them on or heckle rivals. The political culture he publicly disavowed has taken an even more troubling turn.

Across parts of the country, handouts are becoming an expectation, with politicians confronted by groups demanding money before listening to them, allowing them to leave or, in some cases, letting vehicles or helicopters pass.

Achieng’ Oneko is a name that may not evoke much attention or recognition among many Kenyans today. Who is he? Where does he come from? What has he done? Or, as some Kenyans tend to ask: why should I know him?

His imprint on the Kenyan nation-state and politics will remain a subject of much interest to politicians and historians.
