The jubilee mosquito




Mosquitoes seem to have borrowed greatly from the Jubilee administration, a government that seems to have a very strong trickle-down effect. Under the protection of my net, I have always felt safe for years, sleeping like a baby, forgetting my worries and dreaming like an entrepreneur.

Tonight I wake up from the protective bubble to visit the cloak room but the opportunistic mosquito sneaks through the exit point, taking a comfortable position similar to the Devolution docket. Done with the call, I get back to bed, hoping to drift into REM sleep within the shortest time. Then comes the buzzing sound, high-pitched and thin like the Majority Leader’s.

Similar in character with the opposition leader who cannot stand corruption, I cannot contain the sound of a mosquito.  I decide to act from my net but because of the confinement and limited visual ability, I never succeed. What else could be more similar than Keter’s efforts!

Getting out of bed, it takes less than a minute to silence the notorious insect. Just before contemplating sleep, however, a bigger one emerges. A probable Eurobond? It’s not so hard to notice, just like the corruption traces that we have always traced.

Three hours in bed, three mosquitoes lay dead on the ground. Three years in power, I bet the scandals are more than three… Since they have proved too much of a menace, I decide to silence the last insect before drifting to sleep. Surprisingly, it clings to my arm even after dying. I start laughing, with Waiguru in mind. But unlike her, this helpless insect has no protective bubble.


My net seems more of a cosmetic feature now, not so different from Waqo’s ‘public relations’ docket. What the hell will I do with these mosquitoes? Repellants have not worked either. Should I change my sleeping schedule?

I have tried sealing all the entry points but each time I think of victory, they sneak in like in 2007 and 2013. What about my last bullet? Shhhh! That’s not for disclosure. But mosquitoes can be a real menace; that I know. Someone help me ask the Opposition leader whether there is a better net or repellant.
