Goons in kenya streets are becoming uncontrolable.[File, Standard]
Monopoly of violence has been outsourced to goons who no longer answer to anyone.
In her book, 'Frankenstein ', Mary Shelley must have had Kenya in mind. Her main character, Victor Frankenstein, assembles a being from parts of dead bodies in his elaborate laboratory, breathes life into it, then recoils in horror at what he has made. The creature, abandoned and unclaimed, turns on its maker and everyone around him. "I am malicious because I am miserable", the monster said at some point.
Shelley wrote the novel circa 1816 and titled it ‘The Modern Prometheus’, after the titan who stole fire from the gods and was chained to a rock for eternity as punishment. Kenya, too, is nursing its own Promethean bargain, power held by feeding a fire never meant to be tamed.
