A GEM AGAINST THE GRAIN OF MEDIA MONOTONY

If asked what I can remember about the latest by-elections in Kenya, my answer will not be anywhere near the details of who or which party won, which parliamentary or civic seat. It will entirely have to do with one elderly man and his simple desire from the whole electoral process. Shoes.

Just check out the sampled reactions below, for a confirmation of the sterling job that Pamela did.
