Today Christendom celebrates Easter and for some uncoordinated reason I’ve remembered the day former president Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta visited a mental hospital and asked the patients “Mnajua mimi ni nani?”.
The story goes that one of them shouted “hatukujui kwani wewe ni nani?”. Uhuru humbly answered “Mimi ni president wa Kenya Uhuru Kenyatta”.
Immediately one of them broke out laughing loudly and said “Usijali Uhuru ata wewe utapona tu, huyu rafiki yangu hapa alikua anajiita Nelson Mandela lakini saa hii amepona amekumbuka anaitwa Bonface Githinji”.
Naturally Uhuru was shocked but the next instant he was amused by one of them who stood up and shook his hand looking at his fellow patients and said: “Huyu mnaona hapa hata ako hali mbaya kutuliko si mnaona ameletwa mpaka na polisi!”
What is the moral of this narrative? Be sober, keep your eyes open in this turbulent world, carefully distinguish between friends and patients.
