BREAKING NEWS: New Kenyan Ambassador To The United States Appointed

STOP PRESS

A new Kenyan ambassador to the United States (pictured below) whose name this blogger could not get immediately has been appointed in circumstances that are not clear.

The new ambassador recently had lengthy discussions with President George W. Bush about the alleged instability in Kenya. Kenya is the country next to another one that is having a power rationing regime now approaching almost 24 hours. It is believed that this pitch darkness in neighboring Tanzania is what has caused instability in Kenya.

The new ambassador has also been seen with President Kibaki on one or two occassions in State House. (This is confirmed information).

There are rumours that the new Kenyan ambassador is not actually a Kenyan. As I wrote this post, it was not immediately clear whether the new ambassador had bought citizenship to Kenya from the notoriously corrupt Kenyan immigration department.

There are also reports from other reliable sources that the new ambassador was only recently appointed to a new senior post in a neighboring country where he is yet to show results while other analysts say his performance so far has been seriously wanting. One wonders whether we are about to have another Artur-like saga in the country.

Analysts fear that the new Kenyan ambassador to the US, who is well known for his hatred of Kenyans, may not be well informed enough about the country and it's affairs to represent Kenya in such an important capacity. Others argue that there is nothing that a good briefing cannot do.

Thugs Shoot Dead Saleswoman For Kshs 2,000 ($27)

A Sales assistant at a wines and spirits shop in a Nairobi estate was on Monday afternoon shot dead by a three-man gang moments after she had received a small payment from a customer.

Ms Julia Njoki was shot twice in the chest at a wines and spirits shop in the sprawling Kayole Estate in Nairobi. The incident took place in broad daylight at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

But the most shocking thing about the whole episode was the fact that the gang snatched a paltry Kshs 2,000 from the dead woman.

Divided amongst the three thugs that is Kshs 666 each. Hardly the kind of money to take this sort of risk for. What is coming to Nairobi?

What makes the whole situation even more worrying is the fact that a lot of crimes like these ones usually go unreported.
