That politicians are masters of double-speak is not in doubt. Most of the time they promise heaven but deliver the opposite.

A good example is a first-time Governor from a county in Western who two weeks ago reassured striking nurses that he will address their plight.

Guess what happened on Wednesday? County askaris stormed the house of the local Kenya National Union of Nurses Secretary-General and kicked him out of the house owned by the County Government.

The son of the ex-nurse has now attracted the wrath of some county residents for being the tormentor in chief of Nurses.
