AS teenagers, my siblings and I were one day caught in some mischief, prompting pops to deliver one of his then infamous lectures.
I WANT to be selected to join the new team of chaps discussing and formulating (and everything else) the new Constitution. I also want to be named a Minister of a high profile ministry with plenty of chances to endlessly travel abroad, but that’s a topic for another day.
BY the time you read this, a brand new cabinet – kabati in Kiswahili – may already be awaiting the swearing in ceremony.
