I agree with you 110%.
That choir [state house choir?] sang song after song after song after song and all of them were about Mama Lucy Kibaki! Some songs were starting something like "Ahsante Baba Mungu..." and I'd go "Ah... Finally the theme changes" only to hear the next line... "...tunakushuru kwa kutupatia kiongozi kama Mama Lucy...". It definitely took me to the days of mkulima namba moja, mwalimu namba moja, daktari namba moja, baba wa taifa - tawala Kenya tawala...
But after all is said and done, the first lady has done a lot for Kenya - serious stuff like sourcing for funds from foreign goverments to build & equip hospitals to sourcing for ARVs. You should have seen her with the kids. Genuinely concerned about the kids - the love and empathy were evident. In some of the clips she was being moved to tears. I couldn't help but wonder if she has a press secretary/person. Some of this things shoul have come out long time ago!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
