Kenya's surely rising, can't you see?

Today being April Fools' Day nothing you read here is a prank. Don't also live this day foolishly for that is not what this day is for. Remember too that some pranks can land you in trouble. If you don't believe so just go hurl stones at State House. Then tell GSU guys (if they luckily reach you faster than their bullets) that you were pranking them.

We need this assurance because also in this great paper today are the stories journalists gleaned from President Uhuru Kenyatta's State of the Union address. You must ignore the cynicism and take his encouragement that all is well and the future can only be better.
