It has taken me some time to post this but I cannot hold it in any longer.
Very, very recently I had the (mis)fortune of bumping into a VERY FAMOUS Kenyan lady politician who is a household name in Kenya. For ease of identification, her hawkish traits are usually identified with a particular metal. That alone should tell you who she is.
So I was at a particular VERY PRIVATE function where not very many people attended. It was not a particular rally or large event attended by thousands where I would ordinarily have excused such behaviour given the huge crowds of people. When there are thousands of people, it is easy to get lost in the mix. What happened to me was very shocking to say the least.
So at the function, during a break, she was walking down a loooong corridor pole pole all alone, no bodyguards nor any soul in sight. I just happened to be walking down the same corridor heading towards her on my way out.
THEN IT HAPPENED!At first I thought the person looked like said politician. Then upon closer inspection as she approached me closer I said to myself haiya! this is Mrs so and so! What are the odds? Halafu you will never believe what happened next.
I made eye contact and raised my hand with a smile on my face and said one of those polite "hellos za kupita," as I walked on. I was not even angling for a conversation or anything. Was expecting just common courtesy that most of us assume a friendly politician who claims to represent our interests at the national level would give an ordinary mwananchi.Wapi?
Her pocketed smile-less stone face did not as much as flinch. She just walked swalalalalaaa straight by as if I was invisible, in a
DEVILISHLY COLD manner.
These people are conmen, my buladdahs and sistahs. I will NEVER EVER even if you paid me 100 million shillings, vote for this politician again in my life. In fact from TODAY onwards I will
actively marshall resources to help DEFEAT her at any contest she seeks. And let her not even DREAM of urezdo seat! Kenyans, if you ever elect this lady to power the country is
superdooomed!It is a deep wake up call that these people do not give a rat's behind about the mwananchi. But you should hear her speak on TV! You would actually be fooled into thinking she cares DEEPLY for you and me
