Here is the front page of Thursday’s Daily Nation

The lead story is all about a major scandal in which it is alleged that former president Moi received a large bribe.
Here is the back page of the same day’s Daily Nation

The lead story is about Kibaki appointing Moi a Special Envoy for Kenya.
Only in Kenya, only in Kenya.
The ridiculousness of the situation is highlighted when you see the stories presented side to side as they were on the Daily Nation website on Thursday comme ca:

You are telling me Kibaki could not find one other worthy Kenyan, preferably one who didnt take a multi million dollar bribe, to appoint as a Special Envoy?

I think Kibaki is senile.I am extremely disgusted with the reckless manner with which kenya is being run, by Octagenarians that for some reasons unbeknowns to us, have the minds of geniuses and have the ideas needed to propel kenya into the fast paced world of the 21st century.Moi raped the kenyan economy, directly through theft, and indirectly through mismagnagement and archaic policies that have riveted kenya to the back bench of concernment.After raping Kenya, and working very hard to fragment the ethnic groups, fate handed kenya over to his agemate, who though wheel chair bound and physically incapacitaed, SHAOCKED the whole world by failing to live up to expectation, and is busy working hard to try and secure another term, come the next elections.You know what kenya is like, its like a very thirsty and hungry cow, that is expected to be milked five times a day, but is tethered to a dry wasteland, without vegetation, and the poor animal is left licking its wounds, and heaving from exhaustion waiting for death.In this same scenario, pictuire a few vultures and hyenas in the backgound waiting for the inevitable.Kenya is a failed state,and will feature as one of the needy recipients of international aid. where is the pride, mr kibaki, where is the innovation, where is the hope? are you just hungry for power to such a degree that your selfishness is preventing youto consider that the hole you have been digging for kenya is actually a grave?

@Mental- Joe so has a crush on you LOL! The man follows you everywhere! “Please Mental, please Mental”. It looks like someone is looking for some extra-special Mental attention:)
Was he perhaps just jealous of Poi and that’s why he turned on you after her allegations? He turns on everybody who shows you some attention, have you noticed? Tell him “No means no”. You’re not interested and you don’t swing that way.

In this case, the more you look the less you see.
