From his Bedroom to the Kenyan Living Room

March 4, 2009

If you watch this clip clearly you will notice that Lucy did not hide her mischievous crocodile tears successfully. At some times while bashing KTN she smiled a little then remembered that she was acting mad. That is the paradox, when a mad woman pretends to be acting mad. Still I can – and indeed have – pardoned Lucy for we know that occasionallykibakis when she runs out of medication terrible things are bound to happen. What begs my intelligence is how (and not why – for it is for sheer madness) she drags a supposedly sane man into such madness.

For that matter, I am very disappointed by baba Jimmy. Not that there was anything I held him in regard for – I have always held me in contempt since he misused my first vote in 2002. I know he has done many stupid things in public – including abusing Kenyans – calling them “Chicken droppings,” idios etc. However, this idea of calling a press conference to address the nation on the state of his family affairs is quite demeaning if not backward.

I am so mad I can’t even bring myself to imagine what their children go through when their parents publicly exhibits their nudity.  What goes through the Minds of Jimmy, Judy, David? etc. It is a shame!

That the poor old man can master courage to peddle unnecessary lies about his family begs for answers concerning the state of his mental health. Worse still he brought along his ranting wife to shed crocodile tears before the camera thinking that Kenyans would be hoodwinked into believing their cocktail of fables.

Kibaki must know that we ceased caring about how many wives he has or how many kids he has fathered – it is no longer any of our business.

However, we still demand to know why the rejected wives and kids are accorded vip treatment. Why is the so-called PNU activist well protected by government personnel? Why is she driven in cars paid for by tax payers and by people paid by tax payers?

So is Kibaki going to sue the girl who made us believe that he is her father – for she told kenyans that much in public?

I don’t even care much about all these things anymore. What puzzles me is why Kibaki is responding to a mosquito bite with a sledge hummer. If he is considering sueing Muite for “insulting” his family or “tormenting” his family as his sweetheart, Muthoni put it, what does it have to do with kenyans? People file lawsuits everyday without having to summon a press conference.

I know, as much as every other kenyan knows that Kibaki is a hands off man who is not bothered by peccaddiloes. If this widely publicised “maxim” is true, then why is he incensed by Muite’s casual remark about his family? Let us compare the nature of this incident and the developing national security threat to Kenya on the Islands in Lake Victoria. Which of the two merits presidential press conference?

Why this dramatic ovature? Important news items that were overshadowed by this nonesense include Tibaijuka’s humiliating dismissal as the head of UN in Kenya, ODM Party’s demand for a renegotiation, release of KCSE results among others.

I was about to forget, given Lucy’s statement does it mean  that kenyans have the license to storm media houses whenever they publish stories that don’t excite us or is it a preserve of Muthoni alone.

Don’t forget the poor man was moralising Kenyans on “telling lies” while that is what he was doing – telling lies. I am fed up with such hypocritic pharisaic behaviour.

The Press also did a poor job today. Only one constructive question was asked.  They couldn’t think of other questions – especially having asked them before. Like what is your relationship with Mary Wambui? Why are you being linked to her? Will you sue Winnie for claiming that he fathered her? Why does Winnie call herself Mwai?

Considering that Kibaki rarely calls press conferences, is this the best he could have done? Fellow Kenyans are starving, corruption is the order of the day, no electoral commision (we are at the brink of a constitutional crisis), our territorial integrity is threatened with Ugandan soldiers patrolling our land, beating Kenyan citizens and arresting Kenyan police officers. And what does the president do? Tells us about his wives.

Sounds like the events preceding the Biafran war in Nigeria. I am afraid… very very afraid because Kenyans are getting impatient. This time the war will not be fought with stones and machetes and i don’t want to predict how bad it will be. But i can say with confidence that the writing is on the wall.
