Kabando wa Kabando

In the run-up to the 2002 elections, I used my good name with the late Daniel Kiptunen to allow Kabando wa Kabando to kopa beer worth around (then) 500/= at Seasons, Uchumi House. That was like 3 or four Tuskers. Kabando was a candidate for Mukurweini and he was as broke as a church mouse. He lost, but soon after he fell into good things when he was given the chairmanship of Nairobi Water.

One Saturday a year or so later I met the jamaa along Kimathi Street and asked him why he never took my calls. He was with his daughter, a very beautiful (aren't all young children?) 6-year old.

"When you go up, you don't carry along your old friends. You go make new ones up there. Your old ones would have served their purpose". I was stunned. That's what Kabando - a so-called human rights activist, humanitarian, and leader - told me, the guy who used to buy him booze and give him fare once in a while.

To the best of my knowledge, Kabando never paid the late Kiptunen his money (I did) and now never will. He lost the seat he won in 2007 in 2017, I believe.

Anything he says is shit to me - and apparently is to the people of Mukurweini.

May he never see heaven.

Hehehe...I was just going by my intuition and what I pick up from the way he speaks. My gut feeling is rarely wrong.

He comes off as a leach. Low energy, no imagination. I am not surprised he is posturing on the side of least resistance.
