Ababu 'Smart' likes to have his shoes shined, but it shouldn't be at taxpayers' expense

Youth, Sports and Arts Cabinet Secretary, Ababu Namwamba, is in the limelight, as he loves it. He had gone planting trees at the National Youth Service (NYS) in Nairobi, when one officer, Dickson Loyerer, saw his shoes muddied and decided to wipe them clean.

Namwamba's offer to tip Loyerer was rebuffed by his bosses, which is strange, as one hairdresser who groomed a previous minister claimed to have received tips by sack-loads. So much money did she have, she kept most under the bed, as it couldn't fit in bank vaults, especially since banks tend to ask to know the source of cash.
