By Gordon Opiyo Illusion of Power is a term that was first defined by Psychologist Ellen Langer.. I fully understand why Rutolets are seething in anger about the Standard Headline today.

DP Ruto doesn’t care about hustlers, silent over Kenyans suffering in China
By Gordon Opiyo I hope Kenyans will see through the pure selfish minds our politicians have. Though Raila, Atwoli and Murathe may be meeting and drinking 50 year old Glenfiddich as they sooth their 80 year old throats…… They are not elected leaders.

By Lempaa Soyinka Stratification of the so called Hustler Nation; which one will prevail beyond 2020? 1. In the so called Hustler Nation first, we have the lumpen hustler.
