AJUOK: Dying embers of firebrand politics fuel state misrule

There are six elderly ladies in the village for whom I have been paying monthly NHIF contributions for some time now, including my mother. Since anything that requires one to remember monthly deadlines can be quite tricky, I often pay several months in advance for each, because the cut-off date is the ninth of each month, before the contribution goes into arrears and attracts a penalty.
