    Bull! and Cheap Attention. Why didn't she Accompany her Husband to Vote. Hi ndyo SHIDA ya ku-Reconcile na Bibi for Political Manouvers.

    Leave first lady alone, kura yake haki yake, whichever style she decided to vote. That is just a cheap shot even for you!

    Raila should WIN:

    RAILA: at least 60%
    Uhuru: at most 40%

    Chief, you will cry in the toilet after all the insults you have hurled at people here at Mwakilishi. The First Lady, FYI (I will explain it to you like the simple mind that you are) was registered in Nairobi while her husband was registered in Gatundu. Now you know.

    I have not commented on this election so far at all, but @ Guest? really! You sound sooo absurd constantly showing your bias against anything UK and trying to shore up RAO at every writing opportunity...It is not necessary. You can show support for your candidate without sounding ridiculous, you know.
