SMALL FISH, BIG PUNISHMENT

SMALL FISH, BIG PUNISHMENT

OBTUSE JUSTICE: When it comes to pinching a penny, it is unwise to be ‘petty’, at least according to the Kenyan justice system. Whereas small-time offenders, like Justinah (left), are hung out to dry for taking little bribes, elite looters, who have helped themseleves to billions from public coffers, as in the NYS looting spree that has come to light recently, can walk scot free. Like sin, where none is small or big, every crime deserves punishment; it is morally repugnant when double standards apply like this, by those who should judge in ‘letter and spirit’.
