Kenyans on Facebook were once fond of using pseudo names. Dr Frederick Kairithia, an Obstetrician/Gynaecologist was mulling which name to pick when International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor, Argentine Jose Moreno Ocampo, came calling over the 2007 post-election chaos in Kenya.
He picked Ocampo. After all, he reckoned, Ocampo represented fairness and objectivity when the country was nursing its moment of madness.
Dr Kairithia never imagined the name would stick. But it did and he even thought of formalizing it as most of his friends and clients refer to him as Dr 'Ocampo'.
