Folks, I’m sorry I broke my New Year resolution to steer clear of politics and politicians after only a few days, but I couldn’t resist the temptation of touching former Kiambu governor William Kabogo’s bald head with a razor-sharp pen.

Or marvel at the former Meru Governor Kiraitu Murungi’s overnight commute from Meru so that he was at the State House in Nairobi at sunrise—only hours after he had spoken about the perceived marginalisation of folks at Kiunyu village in Meru.

I can imagine Kiraitu chuckling, in that awkward manner that sees his mouth twist and twitch, his shoulders rise and fall as he laughs at his own joke. The last time I checked, Kiraitu’s political vehicle was a bus that crawled at an excruciatingly slow pace, which means he didn’t make it to Nairobi early enough, so he wasn’t interviewed for the job. He’s on the waiting list, I understand.
