I will not resign. The Kenyan donkey does not kick, she utters those words. Good professor Kaimenyi swore that an internal audit will be carried out and culprits, as you'd expect, brought to book. He also said that he takes the laptop tender with honesty and heavy responsibility. I think, heavy responsibility had literal meaning, because from the look of things, it is very heavy for brainy prof.
On the other hand, the house of commons in Kenya, I take the meaning of commons to the exact word, common, has been secreting saliva to drippy levels, for Kaimenyi. The parliament, as the system has forced us to call the house of commons, is full with half-witted fellows who are uninformed uniformly, taking pride in matters oscillating around individuals and staying away from legal issues, their primary role. In short, the house is filled with common, ordinary individuals.
Perhaps they should never work at all. Their work is to sleep that is why whenever they sit they have to be paid sitting allowances. I don't know what will be of Kaimenyi, a man whose name can mean "the one who knows" if tweaked a bit to read Kamanyi in most of the Eastern Bantu languages. With that, i hope he knows.
Counties. A magazine born of devolution, dubbed The Governor, published monthly, had the cover picture of Kivutha Kibwana, the governor Makueni County. I love Makueni because it is my birth place, my mamaland and a place which offers a very good life college, survival adeptness and that awareness which makes you move your eyes like a chameleon, my biology teacher, big up Mr Kabuff....no no...kabuch.....told me those eyes are called compound.
My governor, however, has shy eyes for the media. He secretly organized an event in Kisau girls in the mid of the week, the type of events which guys who have interacted with the queen's lingua call impromptu, but for my language ineptness i call it a wa! event, my primary school teacher would call it a "suddenly" event, to congratulate the school for an average performance and some Y results. I am no hating, congrats to the girl who topped, but, is a 7 point something performance worth the big man's attention? Anyway, perhaps he knows this, that i why he made sure the media does not get air of the event.
Swiftly across the oceans. A certain Malaysian plane went to thin air. Be glad that it is not a KQ plane because our powerful witch doctors and prophets would be giving clues to all directions, making the search even more complicated. Something else, as a boy growing up in the country i was told that America is so powerful that they have mega cameras rotating in the sky capturing every event in the world, how come they missed the Malaysian plane?
That brings sense to my title. Africa is a great place. You sit and get paid. You corrupt and don't resign. You can celebrate everything anything. The land of milk and honey.
