President Uhuru Kenyatta during a past event. [Wilberforce Okwiri, Standard]
A politician’s job is to talk. His greatest happiness is when he finds an audience, preferably a big and even rowdy crowd, if the rowdiness is in agreement with him. To tell a politician not to talk for a day is like telling a hunter not to hunt, or a farmer not to go to his shamba, or check on his livestock. It is like telling a fisherman not to go fishing.
