Palaver

Remember when this pledge could mean the difference between a seat in Cabinet or a date with whip-swishing Kanu youth wingers? "I pledge my loyalty to the president and the nation of Kenya; my readiness and duty to defend the flag of our republic; my devotion to the words of our national anthem; my life and strength in the task of our nation’s building; in the living spirit embodied in our national motto – Harambee! and perpetuated in the the philosophy of peace, love and unity." And it worked! Any chance it can be revived so that we stop hearing a certain kinds of speech every time Cabinet is reshuffled?
