Palaver

Trouble with the donkey is that it is often overworked, is a design horror with unflatteringly long ears and no horns, makes a fool of itself at the marketplace, cannot neigh to save its life and is the object of outrageous humour. Now, even before we could say ‘Juja’, one William Kabogo was on the warpath against his Flower party (Narc-K) leader Martha Karua for daring to claim she would make an alternative and worthy candidate for the Mt Kenya bid for the House on the Hill in 2012. If these reports are true then this is the fastest defection on the Kenyan political scene yet, and of course a case of Asante ya punda....(A donkey’s gratitude is measured in severe kicks).
