You reap where you sow. You harvest what you plant. These words from the Bible are practical and relevant to our daily lives. That is what the fans who forced their way into the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, tell us about the public behaviour we have cultivated over the past decades. We are reaping the fruits of our political impunity.
People don’t just wake up and disregard fundamental laws such as pay, get a ticket and use it to go to their allocated section of the stadium. It is learned behaviour. In part, it comes from the “monkey see, monkey do” political culture that we have practiced over the years.
