PM’s speech was the best on the day of katiba promulgation. However, he made a few blunders:
(i) Refereeing to others as popo left some of us wondering who he was referring to.
(ii) That minyoo which does not die after being eaten by chicken. Inaishi ndani ya tumbo halafu inatoka huko chini. Kuku anapinduka anafikiri ni mnyoo mwingine. Anakula tena. ….
I did not hear him pay tribute to the late JM Kariuki. JM should not have been mentioned in the group of ‘na wale wengine’.
Sometimes I thought PM had become too old. Those are not good statements to make on a serious occasion graced with international dignitaries. Whether one was a popo, a minyoo or kuku were irrelevant on that occassion. We forge forward BUT not to rub it in. After all the katiba is for all Kenyans.

Go to hell man. Cant you understand the language. You’re the guys letting down luos. You want to behave like you’re in heaven. Cmon
I couldnt agree with you better! The PM spoilt an otherwise good speech by playing to the gallery forgetting that this was a solemn ocassion graced by international dignitaries and not a political rally at Soweto in Kibera.Mr.Moi is no longer in power and we dont have to keep on dwelling on his human weaknesses eight years since he left office as no human being is an angel.He should have read his speech and left it at that as both the VP and The President had done.Most probably the President didnt make any off the cuff speech as he might have not been happy with the PM’s conduct as even saying that Hon.Kibaki left the Govt. in 1992 to join the opposition was in bad taste.The Right Honourable PM should realise that the conduct of the noise makers from Kibera has already aleniated a big chunk of his support and he should not make matters worse by always atacking others at such meetings.The Vice President always calls him my brother at most meetings yet when he stands to speech he never reciprocates!
Don’t be too uptight! He was just trying to make the occassion lively….
Angeline,the issue is not whether the occcassion was lively or not but if it was the right forum for him to make those statements that sullied what had otherwise been a good speech!
