Kenya's political landscape often feels like an endless loop, where history does not just rhyme - it repeats itself with eerie precision. I have been re-reading 'The Black Bar' by Paul Mwangi, and amazed by the parallels between Kanu regime and President William Ruto's administration.

The same tactics of repression, forced financial contributions, and the criminalisation of dissent that defined the Kanu dictatorship are now unfolding right before our eyes.
