Why Kibaki, Karume were banned from carving goat ribs

There are many slips between the ribs and the lips which almost ruined Jomo Kenyatta's chances of being the country's first-ever Prime Minister in 1963.

The Constitution then had been crafted to create the post of a Prime Minister who was to work with Malcom MacDonald, the colonial governor, even as London retained Foreign Affairs and National Defense dockets.

But there was a problem. Kenyatta was not an MP and Gatundu was not a constituency then and none of the lawmakers was willing to sacrifice their seats.
