Many years ago, when one Barack Obama was elected US president, and Kenya’s parental authority went gaga and declared a national holiday, Kenyans were over the moon that the country’s fortunes had changed. Never mind that even a State-sanctioned contingent of idlers went all the way to the United States, just to watch his swearing in on TV.

The most euphoric lot of the Kenyan nation was the tourism gurus, that group of “professionals” which fall over themselves when an old Caucasian couple lands on Kenya’s shores to celebrate their 99th wedding anniversary far away from their children-and their cowardice of dogs.
