By FRED OBACHI MACHOKAA, I think the good old Hon. Prof. Kisiangani on @CitizenTVNews is slowly but surely becoming a political phycophant, someone please tell him! As a Kenyan I abhor what happened to our President in Migori and every Kenyan of goodwill should condemn the act. I was happy to see the Secretary General of ODM issue an official statement to condemn the act. I am also glad that the suspected culprits are being arraigned in court. But I am not happy to see the likes of Hon. Kimani Ichungwa and (surprisingly) Prof. Kisiangani demand a specific apology from CORD leader Raila Odinga. From their argument, you could think that perhaps the President was heckled by one of Odinga's sons! A mistake has been committed. Let's not commit other mistakes in form of correcting an earlier mistake PLEASE. Kenya is still hurting. Let's be mindful of what we say, especially on National Television.

There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...
