Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja. [Kelly Ayodi, Standard]

For a man purported to have been wading through mud coordinating rescue efforts after last Friday's deluge that turned Nairobi into a sinking hole, Governor Johnson Sakaja appeared too glam when he spoke on TV on Sunday night.

His beards were trimmed, his white shirt was starchily pressed, his light brown leather shoes were polished; his hair was oiled and combed. Put simply, he had the swag of a man venturing out on a Sunday night.
