I have asked my friend and wife Margret to hold the Bible together with me as I take the Oath of office on Tuesday; a tradition exercised in most countries of the world. I promised to uphold family values and by having her stand alongside me, we will not only be vowing individually as recognized by the Constitution but also collectively as recognized by our marriage vows also enshrined in the law. By holding the Bible, not for me but with me, as I take my Oath of Office, she will be committing herself to ensure she reminds me of my promise to the Kenyan people and also assuring Kenyans that family obligations will not interfere with my execution of duties as President.

Sai hizo ni mashetani gani tena? and who is the other one?

Much ado about nothing. North Korea is threatening nuclear strikes on the US today or tomorrow and this is what we are discussing?

So what are you going to about it. Can you stop them?

If you are a married man, you know what role your wife plays in your success.... she may not be there personally, but the fact that she is taking up some of your responsibilities as the head of family, as father, as the man in the family (as long as the line is not crossed) sometimes leaves you at peace to pursue the bigger picture for the family.... For example, you are chasing a deal from kisumu, mombasa or namanga. She ensures the kids are taken care of, school functions are attended, kids are disciplined in your absence, pipes are fixed before everyone is drowned, the bills are paid (even if you provide the money - it wont walk itself to city hall) etc.....

Can you imagine a first lady who is throwing tantrums all over the place? People will start questioning your ability to lead if you cant even lead your own family.... so really, as the president, you need alot of support from the first lady - she can bring you down in a "swoosh".
