Trust Kalonzo Musyoka to whine about this and that, nothing and everything

Kalonzo: What a proud moment it was for me, posing next to my first ever car, along the then Nairobi/Thika highway.It was a very special car for me. During my 1983 General Election campaigns, I would cram into this tiny lancer up to ten people, double its official capacity. It was then, my main and only campaign means of transport.

When he was Minister for Education in 1998, striking teachers demonstrated outside his Jogoo House office screaming Mr Baby Face. I don’t know why they nicknamed Kalonzo Musyoka ‘babyface’. Maybe it had to do with his facial looks at the time, or because of the manner in which he handled their dispute or both.

As for crying, you can trust to have Kalonzo whining about this, that, nothing, and everything. We all watched him on Tuesday complaining about some agreement signed in 2017 regarding an entity called NASA, even as he admitted the entity died a long time ago. So he wanted agreement on a dead formation honoured. Strange logic that!

Anyway, that is Kalonzo for you. He will always have something or somebody to whine about. There always has to be some dark forces against him somewhere, even when most of the time it is his own shadow.
