It was only last night, that my cousin drew my attention to Kibaki's most recent description of the No (Orange) Team led by among other luminaries- Raila and Kalonzo. My conservative tongue, which would only use the derogatory term pumbafu (now commonly used in ordinary public parlance by H.E.) under my breath (and still have this unpleasant taste of defilement in my mouth) - was utterly astonished to learn that H.E. called his ever faithful cabinet members mavi ya kuku!
That such insults were not used in any of the schools that i attended, does not lend any credence whatsoever to the golf playing aristocrat that H.E. has previously portrayed of himself. It simply doesn't make sense. Perhaps behind this swanky proper demeanor that we besmurge upon ourselves or unconsiously bear (whichever the case), lies this uncanny and puzzling personality: how else would we describe his careless outbursts.
Anyway... the above notwithstanding, with all the respect due to the Office, the occupant should find a kindergarten teacher for some Polite Language 101, or stick to written speeches from the highly qualified head of the Presidential Press Unit. Failing which, he most probably will be the undoing of his campaign.
ps. the linked article is not referenced for the journalists views (which i don't subsribe to), but for his quotation of H.E.'s various crude slips of the tongue
