Dear uncle Matiang'i,

Your hard work, and steadfast approach on matters Governance has catapulted you to be appointed the acting CS interior. But please uncle ujue you are going to deal with toughened army generals who drink petrol for breakfast, eat bullets as rice for lunch, and launch grenades and bombs as ugali for dinner. Please don't go tossing and ordering them around the way you used to embarrass school headmaster in front of cameras. Those army generals watakula firigisi yako if you try that. Tafadhali hapo onaenda okinyenyekea. And learn how to salute. You don't go shaking an army general's hand, no. You salute. Over and out.

Yours truly.
