MY HOUSEGIRL: Baba's handlers should not let him go public especially in TV interviews

"Mayooo, and he wants to be president?" My house girl screamed, midway watching Raila’s interview with a local station on Youtube. "From all the three or so NDCs he has been to today, you can safely say, compared to Baba and all his public appearances this week (especially that horrible interview), Uhuru is not just an affective communicator, but his communication guys are burning midnight oil and are doing a decent job," she says. She goes on to praise son of Jomo, saying these jubilee guys look more organised.

Hear her: "Why cant Nasa do such things, even if it's just to bamboozle voters. They can't get these disadvantaged people or those with special needs like the blind, crippled, former street boys and others running on Nasa tickets and parade them before speeches? This is what razzmatazz, PR and propaganda is made of. Look, the president could be lying through his teeth and exaggerating his achievements and overpromising this and that, but the message is not just solid and well-thought out but also well executed, complete with a tone and body language that screams the same," she says.
