My sincere apologies to some of my most faithful readers who love the game of golf with all their hearts. But whispers reaching his blogger indicate that the Nation CEO landed his new plum job on the golf course.
Yes, the guy plays golf like every ruling class-VIP-upward mobile-serious executive-people who matter in Kenya today-person. Nothing wrong with Golf and nothing wrong with golf course appointments. It happens everywhere in the world.
The only problem is that if you are a politician supposed to empathize with the plight of the ordinary Kenyan then the golf course is definitely not one of the places to develop empathy. It is OK for CEO Linus Gitahi thought, he is not in politics.
I am very grateful for one thing though. The fact that Moi does not play and has never played Golf in his life. Can you imagine what would have happened to Kenya during his long 24 year rule? If the horrors we saw were from a non-golf player, then you get my drift.

Join our raging debate on the cause of insecurity in Kenya.
Golf is not that elite (or expensive) anymore, and is a great way to network. There are several low cost clubs around Nairobi - Jamhuri Park, Air Force, Makuyu, Ruiru, Machakos, Vet Lab - where on any given weekend, you can get to mix in real well.
