Palaver

Dr Sally Kogsei easily strikes you as a lady in the wrong profession — politics. Her composed demeanour is not the stuff many politicians are made of. The former diplomat is often diplomatic in her utterances unlike your everyday politicians. However, it was not the usual Sally when she was explaining her apparent shift from the Raila camp of ODM. While Kosgei is the person entrusted with the noble task of ensuring the nation’s food security, among other responsibilities, she says she flies the flag on her car to weave through traffic jams. And as a leader, her subjects expect her to provide guidance but she has instead chosen to follow them rather than lead them.
