Kenyans throng the Nairobi CBD to celebrate the English Premier League champions, Arsenal FC, on May 28, 2026. [File, Standard]]

I fully associate with the sentiments of throngs of Kenyans who painted the town red last Sunday to celebrate the English Premier League champions, Arsenal FC, or Asenali as it’s known here.

Incidentally, there were no reported injuries, despite the thousands in the streets, which says a lot about policing and who keeps peace or breaches it.

Perhaps that’s the very thing Kenyans wanted to celebrate, to get some reprieve from the takataka that politicians have turned our lives into.
