Pumbavu” The President’s Favorite word

For those who watched T.V. last night, they must have noticed the agitation on Kibaki’s face as he called L.D.P./Kanu group pumbavu for not interpreting the draft correctly to the people.

The local Kenyan press has interpreted that word to mean stupid (i think it means something more abusive).During my 39 years in this world, I can’t remember a parent, teacher, peer, etc. using the word. He must have ‘captured’ it in a local pub in Othaya before he became President.Shoudn’t our President measure his words on a public platform?
Secondly, are Kenyans not intelligent enough to do their own interpretation of the Wako draft?

Or maybe he was right, for indeed Raila was a "pumbavu" to have said 'Kibaki tosha' in 2001.

Who snubbed who?

By the way is it possible for a Kenyan President on an official visit to the UK not to call in on the Prime Minister. I think not, and I believe that President Kibaki may have had problems getting an appointment with Blair. The President’s spin doctors have of course totally denied that the President had problems getting to see Blair. They sa that Blair was not in his schedule. Hmm…
