Kenyans on the cross, wading through muddy political demo waters

It's been pouring, even though folks at the Met department say the rains will not be adequate to grow food, so farmers have been advised to plant fast-maturing varieties. There is no further information about the seeds, or even where they are to be found. Farmers are expected to know these things since they have been at it through the years.

Still, the rains have been steady enough to block our drainage, forcing DP Riggy G to wade through the waters to get to his office. And his poor aides have to tug along at 5am, just for a photo-op. Enyewe, some jobs are not easy! I mean, who else in this great republic starts his day by taking pictures?
