dc.description.abstractThis paper seeks to investigate how the cartoon text deconstructs political ineptitude and expedience. It attempts to unlock the semiotics of the texts so as to uncover how the cartoon text communicates. I also ex· amine the various sub-texts embedded within the main text that reveal the absurd and bizarre realities of our democratization endeavours. Thepaper also tries to establish the convergence and intersection of humour on one hand and critical condemnation of the system within the cartoon by focusing on the signifying images of political ineptitude and expedience. Thus, the paper seeks to establish the signifying cultural symbols of political ineptitude and offers a reading of the constructed and emerging images of political leaders of modern Kenyaen_US
