Another Obama? Kenyan Becomes Finland’s First black Member of Parliament

The Kumekucha blog has plenty of friends in the US and some of them are serious political analysts in a country where the politics is complex. And so when we became the first blog to predict an Obama win in the race for the White house (long before primaries had even started) many laughed at "how naive Kumekucha was." And that included my own late Dad (who visited the US several times) and close advisers to former President Kibaki. It is now laughable that when the then senator Barack Obama visited Kenya and tried to see the president, Baba Jimmy had no time for him. Well hardly a year later President Obama hardly had the time for Kibaki (LOL!!)

Now another man with a Kenyan father (in Kenya we believe the child's father decides their tribe) is making waves in politics and this time in Europe. Fascinatingly the guy's story reads like a replica of Obama's (he too came to meet his father's family in Kenya). And his achievements are even more mind boggling than Obama's because his mother's country is over 95 percent white, making it one of the most homogeneous countries in Europe.

Despite our political mess at home, there is obviously something very special about us Kenyans.

Kidero, Shebesh to be charged 4 months later... Why??

Why wait 4 long months to charge somebody in court? Do police investigations take that long? More so for a case where there are video clips of exactly what went down?

Strange but I am afraid very normal in the banana republic where courts and court cases against individuals have been used as political weapons and "tools of the trade" for decades. But we have an independent judiciary now, I can hear you wondering. Relax! That has got nothing to do with who prosecutes cases. Apparently the file has been in some cabinet at the DPP's office gathering dust all this time but was suddenly retrieved yesterday. Why?

Both Kidero and Shebesh will be charged. Kidero will face assault charges whilst Shebesh will answer to the minor offense of creating disturbance.

Famous Shebesh slap of September 6th 2013 was captured on national TV. Moments later the Nairobi governor told the press he could not recall slapping anybody or anything about what had just happened. Within the hour charges and P3 forms were flying to police stations from both Shebesh and Kidero.

We know that Ms Shebesh has been threatening to go back to Raila Odinga and ODM where she launched her political career not too long ago. We also know that her relationship with the JUBILEE high command has been going through some trying times recently But in Kidero's case we may need to dig deeper. The Nairobi governor is still on an extended passionate honeymoon with the ruling JUBILEE government. What could possibly have gone wrong in the middle of this happy time?

Interestingly the DPP has ordered Kidero to be charged with assault which means that the claims he made of being assaulted in the groin by Ms Shebesh have been cast aside. If this is indeed true and Kenya were not a banana republic then it would have opened quite a number of smelly cans of worms. Giving a false report to the police is a criminal offense that 10 witnesses and Kidero would have to prove they did not commit. And then there is the doctor at Mama Lucy hospital in Komarock who signed the P3 form that Kidero presented to the police as "proof" that he had indeed been assaulted.
