The Kenyan political class has thoroughly normalised thuggery. Any politician worth his or her salt must now command a militia of goons.
In a number of cases, it has been alleged that even leading government officials have on occasion asked goons to deputise police officers.
The net result is “goonism” is now, for all intents and purposes, officially sanctioned by the government. It is no longer considered breaking the law to mobilise young men to commit vandalism and other crimes.
The individuals involved may be killed or arrested. That is for sure. However, the mobilisers always walk free. That is the pact among political class.
