Award-winning cartoonist and writer Patrick Gathara has been all over this year’s developments in Nairobi, in editorial cartoons, on his blog, and in his columns for the Washington Post. Popula asked him to share a few recent strips with us, here is the latest:

He has recently launched an anti-corruption crusade which is little more than showboating while the looting of state coffers continues unbated. -Gathara
