Another week of politics, Kenya style

The biggest global story right now is the embarrassment caused to the US government by Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. His tranche of encrypted emails hacked from US government servers across the globe have been leaked and it’s amusing the way America thinks its ‘friends and allies’ are scum bugs.

In Kenya, though, it’s business as usual. On the whole, the charade is boring because there is little that the US envoy to Nairobi can say about our leaders that we don’t know. Maybe, Assange would have done us a favour if he leaked secret wire taps of all phone calls made by senior politicians before, during and after the botched 2007 election.
