Not too long ago, beautiful Priscilla Nyokabi harboured ugly thoughts about Prof Jacob Kaimenyi. I was tickled to no end when she said the good prof was so obnoxious he wouldn't be admitted to heaven. She forgot that it will be easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a Kenyan legislator to go to heaven; they could very well be in hell together, you know.

Call it fate or pure luck, hate him or like him, but Kaimenyi has the proverbial nine lives of a cat, at least politically speaking. He has survived all sorts of juggernauts; he proved to Knut and Kuppet that he is a hard nut to crush.
