Why arrest the commoners doing criminal things when the high profile politicians are going free will the stolen lot? No one should be arrested because the fish is rotten from the head down to the tail.
If I remember right, a conman once duped a victim into believing he was talking to the then President Uhuru Kenyan and got conned. My countrymen and women have lots of talent if only some of them can steer their skills towards productive and meaningful goals.
