But residents of a village in Kenya on Tuesday, February 12, apparently conspired to let their leaders have a taste of the level of deprivation they have been living with for years.

In Ghana, when politicians are scheduled to visit extremely deprived communities to seek their mandate, residents organise themselves to clear the roads, fill the potholes and buy bottled water they themselves have not drunk before, just to give the politicians convenience.

For failing to provide them with potable water, Karare ward residents of the East African country’s Marsabit county served bottles of very muddy water to their political and administrative leaders who met with them.
It is unclear what the agenda of the meeting was.

Reports say the dignitaries were seated, probably in expectation of some preferential treatment, but that did not happen.
Women of Karare ward stepped out with the muddy bottles of water, and the politicians pretended they did not notice it.
The devil is a liar! Their pretence did not deter the women from giving them the water in any way, they placed them on the floor before all of them.

The silent protest follows pleas upon pleas made to their leaders to solve their perennial water crisis for them, but to no avail.
It is not clear whether they drank the muddy water provided them.
