A former MP who has been waiting for a government job for the last two years has reportedly given up, bitterly disappointed. The man, who has been all over TV stations defending and popularising the Kenya Kwanza administration's policies, is said to have resolved that he might never get any state job after all. Quiet exchanges have it that he is not on the priority list of the appointing authority. The dejected man has now retreated to the village to tend to his farm and livestock. A mole whispered to Corridors of Power that the fellow has been using proxies to share photos of his "new life", perhaps so that anyone who cares can share with those concerned about him.
