Even worse... exactly one year ago there was massive rioting, 1,500 people killed & 300,000 homes burned down. All masterminded by the president. Scared rigging the election wouldn't keep him in power, he had a backup plan - get the police to pay local boys $15 to kill any opposition supporter & create mass chaos. And it worked.

And it's still working. Several respected investigational reports have named the masterminds. But not a soul's gone to jail. Not a single politician’s stepped down.

Kenyans seem genuinely interested in what's happening. Most people know someone who died or lost their house. But the interest is more like they're watching a soap opera... there's no outrage. No sense that 'the system' will punish anyone.

That general helpless lethargy seems to extend even to little things. The other day on a bus the driver randomly decided to charge everyone 10 cents extra. Everyone around me just shrugged their shoulders & paid it. But I bitched & didn't. Not a single one of the 30 other passengers complained to the driver - just quietly to each other.

Why aren't Kenyans upset? Where are the protests? Why couldn't the people on the bus even complain? What was it that has made a whole country so accepting of injustices? Was it colonialism? What?!? I really don't understand...
