Nothing makes the day better for a politician than the sight of microphones, cameras and a crowd. Television cameras in particular puts them on the new cloud. But wait for the media not to be there: a little fright and the politician will go, shaken to the bone marrow.
Take the case of one of the directors of NASA (by the way, does this thing still exist?) Well known for difficult discussions.
A few days before the "oath" of the "president of the people" in January, the principal had sworn at a public rally that " round hii sio mchezo ! (This time we do not play with anyone)
But the day came, he was not found and had turned off all his phones! It was reported that he remained inside after seeing a strange object "thrown" into his enclosure and thought that it was a bombshell!
In the 2005 referendum on the draft constitution to which he opposed, he had dared to dismiss him from the Cabinet to oppose the constitution if the president "was man enough". In fact, he and the other non-ministers were fired. One could have expected the Nasa man to bring down the blue sky. Instead he just shunned and went home.
A more dramatic day was the day when demonstrators were demonstrating outside his office when he was minister
. Instead of facing them, the scared man phoned his wife to come to the basement of the building and flee incognito. . In another incident where he was wanted by the police to record a statement about an allegedly irregularity committed by a law firm badociated with him, he hid in the office of a certain PS instead of facing to the police and prove his innocence or otherwise.
The next episode involved the one and only "General" Miguna Miguna. It was the day the results of the 2007 presidential election were announced.
He was one of the politicians who had stormed the KICC press center and threatened to raze the building if his presidential candidate was not declared the winner.
Then came the hard cop, Police Commissioner Hussein Ali. He ordered everyone to leave the room immediately. "General" Miguna made to defy the command that the media cameras clicked. But hardly the "general" saw the red berets (GSU), he sprinted like a frightened antelope
A politician who speaks loudly (today she is Her Excellency the Governor) had just threatened to take the micro President of the Electoral Commission Samuel Kivuitu when the men of the GSU approached. She ran like one on steroids losing a shoe. I remember a man from the GSU who pointed out that media crews had quietly parked their bags: "Kumbe nyinyi sio waoga kama hawa watu! (So they are not as cowardly as these people. "
THE SIX SCARED
This one should be fresh in the minds of many people as it happened last year. It was then that six MPs – Moses Kuria, Mishi Boko, Johnstone Muthama, Ferdinand Waititu, Kimani Ngunjiri and Junet Mohamed – were brought to justice after days of cooling down (no, cooling their automated jaws) into cells from police.
In the box of the accused, they seemed so humble and ready to kneel if that was what the trial judge required of them not to be sent back to the cells. One would never again let their language run faster than the gray matter between their ears. But of course, politicians and warthogs have one thing in common: a short memory
Later, I asked a police officer attached to the Pangani police station how they behaved when they were "Guests" at the station. He told me that he could not believe that it was the same hotheads that now seemed as scared as the students about to be beaten!
Another very interesting man that I remember was told by lawyer-politician Paul Muite. He said that at the height of the crackdown on cross-party crusaders in the early 1990s, one way to humiliate the arrested politicians was to order them to undress in front of the interrogators. Once arrested and locked up in police cells in the Nairobi area, he was asked to enter his natural suit, which he did quickly.
As he was returned to the cells, a policeman whispered to him, "You are a man. When you undressed, your flag remained at the mast. Some of your colleagues have their flags lowered when ordered to undress. For others, the flag disappears completely between the legs! "Please, do not ask me what the cop called the" flag. "That one you'll have to pick up Mr. Muite to tell you.
Another involved a Kiambu MP who was boasting used to chew nails and was nicknamed "General" well before the arrival of Miguna Miguna
