Kisumu Governor Anyang’ Nyong’o and Zimbabwean leader Emmerson Mnangagwa have striking similarities.
I have always argued that their calm demeanor creates an illusion of cowardice. As a cub reporter during Narc days, I often interacted with the Kisumu governor, who was then a minister. The good old ‘prof’ is razor-sharp and relentlessly strategic. It’s no surprise that he’s thrived in academia and politics.
