Gov Dr Alfred Mutua Anajivunia Kuwa M'masaku

The first official Governement Spokesman for the Republic of Kenya Dr Alfred Mutua has resigned from his post and plunged headlong into the world of murky politics.

Alfie has been President Kibaki's mouthpiece for the last 8+ years. During that time the patriotic Mutua came with such ingenious slogan like 'Najivunia kuwa Mkenya'. And the enthusiasm radiated in his eyes when handing out stickers to motorists.

Mutua's entry into politics may just usher in a new political era of new faces. To top it up Mutua has promised a blockbuster memoir aptly titled "Shooting the Messenger" where he will bear it all.

He may look a political novice i the face of his potential opponents in the moneyed Muthama and co, but the communications professor is not naive.

Mutua has plenty of fire power under his belt starting from his Friday Daily Nation's column Msafiri more than two decades ago. Stevo has surely secured a huge catch.

He may have goofed in his numerous shameless defense of the indefensible, but Governor Mutua will surely offer Machakos Country a new political face.

Good luck Alfie.
