Kenyans and the politics of private parts

Obar Mark

“Gideon Moi is uncircumcised, says DP Ruto,” that is today’s main headline in one of the local dailies. My first reaction after reading it was, “how did he know that Gideon Moi is not circumcised? I thought such assessments are left for women to carry out and make a report to no one in particular.” Maybe, and just maybe, someone must have told Deputy President William Ruto that his clansman has not gone through the cut, but the “politics of private parts” is not anything new in Kenya.
