Grandpa's Presidential Race

President Kibaki recently celebrated his 76th birthday during the climatic changes summit in Nairobi and had various world dignitaries sing happy birthday for him, including outgoing UN chief Koffi Annan.

This means that if we go to the polls in December as is widely expected, the President will be 77 years old then. And if he wins re-election, he will complete his second term at the age of 82.

His running mate in the 2007 presidential race has been identified as yet another prominent grandpa, Moody Awori (or Uncle Moody, as he is affectionately called by Kenyans) who tries very hard to look as young as possible by shaving his head clean.

Maybe the President's handlers should borrow the clean-shaven head idea from the VP and do the same for their candidate. He might look much younger and more electable.

Prominent members of the President's election team will include Njenga Karume and Mutahi Kagwe's father in law and grandpa to his children, John "Standard Raid" Michuki.

One of the reasons why the first proposed Yash Pal Ghai constitution was rejected was because it put an upper age limit on presidential candidates. This was one of the first sections to be quickly changed.

At this rate maybe Michuki and Karume should consider running for the presidency after Kibaki's second term is over. That way our place in the history will be assured. And while we are at it, why don't we also actively seek a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for the cabinet with the most grandpas in Africa, this could be a major boost to our tourism marketing.

Why is it that Raila seems to know all this top-secret government meetings and goings on? Remember the Artur brother's saga? (Incidentally Raila says that one of them is back in the country). Does Raila have a mole in the highest echelons of government and if so, who is it?
