END OF WEEK KENYA-POLITICS......
We know that a politician is becoming egoistic, losing direction or becoming irrelevant when she/he takes every opportunity to remind people about who she is.
Well, Charity Ngilu has once again reminded us that she is still the chairperson of Narc and NPK presidential aspirant and for that precise reason can therefore not say ‘Agwambo tosha!’ Once again she has proved to have few peers when it comes to double-speak, blaming the media for misquoting her as she attempted to reclaim her waning political clout.

Some things can only be Nigerian. Less than two weeks to May, Tinapa, the so-called Africa’s premier business resort, is still running adverts on Dstv saying that it is opening in March. Who is fooling us, Tinapa or Dstv?

And instead of Kenya's Internal Security minister Mr John Michuki bothering about ghosts in Sri-Lanka and Dubai, that have now returned to haunt and could hound him out of office, why can’t the minister and the Government concentrate on sorting out the murdereous Mungiki militias that fall not only within his docket, but his province as well. Or were the matatu reforms’ the last trick of an old wear horse, torn socks and all?

When it comes to male runners, Kenya is a giant. But our women lack consistency, any tips from Eastern Europe? Cheruiyot, Kwambai and Kiogora did Kenya proud in the Boston Marathon by taking positions one, two and three. But our women let Eastern Europeans Hidiya and Helena of Russia and Lativia conquer the pole positions one and two. So should we now send our women runners to training camps in Siberia, the way foreigners camp in the North Rift to learn how to run.

And finally...
Kenya's Internal Security minister Mr John Michuki has a comrade in the rugged mountains of Afghanistan when it comes to raiding TV stations. Afghanistan’s A-G, accused of regularly breaking the law, on Monday raided the country’s most popular TV station, Tolo, with over 50 armed policemen, assaulting staff and arresting senior journalists accusing them of inaccurate reporting.
