Embodiment of virtues

The entire Kumekucha bloggers and loyal abiding readership wish to extend heartfelt "Hongera" to Water and Immigration Minister Charity Ngilu on the happy occasion of her successful B.A. L.M. graduation


The single virtue defining us as Kenyans is the power to read letters as exemplified by our own economical African Teacher and the high priced Ivy League Education Graduates.

Critics rhetoric not withstanding, a degree remains a necessary qualification for sufficient leadership of any nation and holding a degree immediately improves the company of ones association as portrayed by the guest list during the Water Minister's celebration party.

Thankfully the power of the new constitution is already at work sweeping away the rot of functionally illiterate leaders who have been laughing all the way to the bank leading an equally functionally illiterate populace NA BADO

Here Comes the Three Presidential Musketeers

Forget the opinion polls. Long dead is G7. The race to become Kenya's forth president has just began in earnest. And what a formidable trinity in Jomo Jnr, the VP Kalonzo and Bill Ruto.

The three may be owners of kingsize egos but they have seen the light. On their own they are toast but together it is no contest.

Son of Jomo has revolutionized Kenyan politics in very few weeks. Even his pun in naming his party Tuko Na Agwambo (TNA) was a clever dig at his opponent which has paid handsomely.

Raila is just propping the presidential league table. And poor Musalia has been left holding the bathtub full of dirty water.

It appears Mudavadi's short-lived political honeymoon is over. No amount of clervely-crafted ICC friendly press statements will save son of Mululu. You don't win votes by condemning the 40m voters for crimes of four people.

Now as political transfer window closes, brace yourselves for the unthinkable. Game on, bring it on. The next mutation of G7 will give forth a political hydra.
