Raila, The Present day Saul.

The book of I samuel chapter 15 chronicles a story of a man called Saul, the first King of Israel and Judah who is said to have lived for around 40 years. The Lord had sent Samuel to King Saul to pass the message thus:
"Go and attack the Amalekites! Destroy them and all their possessions. Don’t have any pity. Kill their men, women, children, and even their babies. Slaughter their cattle, sheep, camels, and donkeys."
Having received the message, King Saul sent messengers to every town and village in his territory to get men to join the army. He got 210 thousand troops, organized them and led them to a valley near one of the towns in Amalek, where they got ready to make a surprise attack. Some people called Kenites lived nearby, and Saul told them, "Your people were kind to our nation when we left Egypt, and I don’t want you to get killed when I wipe out the Amalekites. Leave here and stay away from them.” The Kenites left and Saul launched the attack. They killed all the Amalekites; men, women and children They also destroyed everything but spared the BEST sheep and cattle. I suspect they also spared the beautiful yellow yellows becoz they didn’t want to destroy anything of VALUE. They only killed the animals that were worthless or weak.

There is a political gang in Kenya called NASA that has been instructed by their Saul to boycott and abstain from many things including parliamentary activities. They pretend faithful to the call but secretly sneak into parliament to sign for allowances. They readily lead the 'weak and worthless' to the streets to be killed by the police but cannot imagine 'killing' this valuable thing called allowances. These are the typical modern day Sauls.
By 2022, it will be 40 years since this Saul was jolted into political existence in the 1982 coup. And that will be the end of his reign. Every Saul lives for 40 years only, just like a thief has 40 days.
