On Tuesday the political class showed their growing fear that the ongoing protests will not end until real reforms are implemented.

The latest gimmick from President William Ruto's administration is yet another talking shop to address protesters concerns.

Forget that Ruto, his team, and the entire political class know full well what the public want: Improved service delivery, rationalisation of expenditures to reduce waste, drastic reduction in corruption, and a rededication to the 2010 Constitution.
