The article argues that Kenya's political discourse is trapped in a cycle of internal power struggles and procedural disputes, diverting attention from the real issue: reclaiming economic sovereignty from external influences.

Unlike West African nations like Burkina Faso, which have shifted towards nationalizing resources and boosting local industries, Kenya remains focused on administrative battles while foreign entities dictate economic policies.

The 'sanctuary owner and hyenas' metaphor illustrates how leaders prioritize managing symptoms of exploitation over dismantling the systems that exploit the population.

With public debt consuming 70% of revenue and inflation rising, Kenyan citizens are left in a cycle of survival-focused politics rather than structural reform.

The piece calls for a shift from procedural debates to addressing economic autonomy, warning that without this change, Kenya will continue to 'count lost goats' instead of confronting the root causes of its challenges.
