Now am not sure any more. most of the people who brave the harsh weather elements at Nyayo Stadium may be doing so for lack of a better thing to do. in the meantime... a security breach occurs at the biggest airport in the country : A.The president goes live on television...My family bla bla bla B. Threatens to sue a certain daily paper for maligning his family C.The same paper publishes photos of a lady and one of the Arturs getting cosy D.CID Director and other top officials shown the door and a commission set up to investigate the Artur intrigues its only in Kenya... <div class="commentary">Just you wait -- I will be dealing with Emilio in a bit</div> @KM - i feel you bro, i know where you are coming from <div class="commentary">=)) Chief, KM is <b>NOT</b> a bro! </div> yeah… i look back to those parade days with nostalgia. i was a boy scout and we used to march past the dais on national holidays like Madaraka Day. used to feel very proud then coz we were good at what we did (we even had wooden gun replicas – it was a complete military parade).

I stopped watching those parades years ago. Frankly, I never got the point of the parades... sweltereing sun, long boring speeches and ' karibu.... mtukufu...rais....uhutubie......wananchi.....wakupendao......funga.....fungua' And then he speaks ENGLISH!! OK so its an international language... this is supposed to be OUR national day! Ama they just figure the guys sweating in the sun just cant figure out the b.s. if its in English? The swahili off-the -cuff remarks are witness to the fact that we pay top shillings for bad comedy. Then after they have surveyed the masses and reassured themselves that they still have their unstinting loyalty, they send them home midomo kavu, and mikono mtupu. And while many Kenyans are still route-elevening home, the super convoy heads to -is it Uhuru Gardens?
