Why are Kenyans electing people without integrity ?

Why are Kenyans electing people without integrity ?

During our days we used to view politician as noise makers,unkempt, those who did not make it in school and those who made us laugh or cartoonist. Because some fought in and out of parliament and the shocking statements they sometimes issued. But shockingly and surprisingly professors,doctors and engineers have joined the bandwagon of people wanting to be nominated by parties to vie for elections. But as macharia gaitho  of DN wrote on Tuesday, that we wilfully and consciously elected thieves,looters,fraudsters,sexual predators, ethnic warmongers,bandits,narcotic traffickers, violent extremists etc  What did we see in these people? Why do voters  prefer to vote for such people who have had a brush with the law? They see a fearless person,a person ready to defend him/herself instead of a polished person,who will tell you many stories and take  you are round but not help you. They also prefer a person who can defend their party without fear. We will reap what we sow. Where are religious people to advice Kenyans? Can you trust such leaders with CDF money? Will violence be separated from these leaders? If they used weapons before they were elected, what prevent them from using them in the open if they are elected ?
