Oops! Lucy Does it Again

Just when everybody thought that First Lady Lucy Kibaki would hold her peace at least till Dec 27, she lost SLAPPED an MC in public in full glare of the President, dignitaries and the media.

The MC who is a senior administrator at OP may have been CARELESS to introduce Lucy as Wambui knowing that VP Moody no less has been a victim of her wrath before. The poor chap was not lucky and his jaws must be still aching from the accurately aimed SLAP.

Political goofs don’t come singly or do they? That simple act may appear mundane but the number of votes it will cost Kibaki besides the moral ground is enormous. You can justify Lucy’s rage as human nature of protecting your turf in the face of marauding Mary Wambui but if she would have chosen to look at the bigger picture and avoid measuring to her poor temperaments the fiasco would have been just a hiccup.

With no tabloids of our own, the outside world (http://allafrica.com/stories/200712121280.html ) are feasting sumptuously on the same at our expense highlighting the nasty side of leadership. Negative news sells, don’t they? And State House aware of this made sure that all the footage (still and video) containing that nasty episode were all erased pronto.

National disgrace
Simple irresponsible acts have a canny away of taking wind out of your moral sail. Having slapped a cameraman before when she invaded Nation Centre, Lucy has become a professional ‘SLAPPER’ and woe unto you if you cross her path. Thank God Kalonzo nor Raila will be in her vicinity soon.

Call it provocation or disrespect but a time in life comes when your infuriating persona must be mellowed with age. Lucy's apologist may rally to her defense but it is inexcusable and a shame to be a serial slapping first lady.

Regional stereotypes (wanawake wa Nyeri) have no place in such high flying offices as First Lady. It is simply juvenile akin to adolescent rants from a jilted lover. Poleni apologists but Lucy has earned the tag national disgrace.

I think, and this is very personal, Mwai Kibaki goofed by giving Lucy to us as the first lady. I am told he is married to another woman called Mary Wambui. Now with Kenyan constitution not giving a shit about how many wives one has and the late Jomo Kenyatta having preferred his youngest wife as the first lady, why didn't Kibaki relegate Lucy to Maendeleo ya Wanawake gangs in Nyeri and have Wambui in State house? Come on, she is sober, humble and yes, more beautiful and thus more presentable!

There is this 'Nyatangaish' claim that after the opposition lost the '92 elections, Matiba called Jaramogi so they could reject the election results. Jaramogi is said to have agreed to support him and when Matiba tried to bring Kibaki on board he reached Lucy instead and she hurled unprintables to him calling him sick. Her argument was that on the election eve, Matiba's thuggish team had gone around Central province distributing leaflets to the effect that Kibaki had stepped down for Matiba. She insulted him BAD and this, if its true, is testimony that she is a LUNATIC. Having a lunatic in State house is the last thing Kenyans want. Again like I said, this is a rumour. Maybe Nyatanga officials in this blog like Phil or Sue can veriy it.

I am ashamed to be from a country whose first lady is called Lucy Muthoni Kibaki.

Breaking News: First Lady Attacks MC at State Function

This afternoon shocking news is emanating from State House Nairobi that first Lady Lucy Kibaki assaulted the Master of Ceremony at presidential award ceremony held at State HouseGardens after the State Luncheon following the Jamhuri Day celebrations at Nyayo Stadium.

Helpless dignitaries sitting at the presidential dais were shocked by the actions of the First Lady who slapped the MC several times and calmly walked back to her seat infront of dignitaries, school children and press cameras. She was apparently reacting to a misrepresentation by the MC who referred to her as the Honourable Mrs Lucy 'Wambui', an obviously regrettable slip of the tongue. President Kibaki did not move from his seat and the function was said to have proceeded after the MC was led away by security agents. Infact the President and a smiling First Lady were shown on prime news making the traditional lap of honour within the state house gardens immediately after the function.

Nation Media, which was reportedly the only independent media group at the function, had their camera man summoned to a private room within the state house grounds and the footage of the incident erased from the tapes in their presence. Still photos were also reportedly destroyed.

This is not the first time reports of personalities being slapped at state house. Exactly a month ago, on 12th November 2007, this blogger had posted a story on an alleged assault within state house precincts.

This blogger will attempt to get more information (read footage) of this unfortunate incident and report back as the story develops.

Lucy is bidding Kenyans goodbye in "a ceremonious" manner. Good luck former first lady!

True or not, such antics are in line with the trials and tribulations of Kibakis polygamous homestead. In my eyes, Lucy should have slapped that MC like silly. Respect must be afforded to our dear first lady….esp. now that Kibaki is garnishing our lowly wages to pay her Ksh. 500,000.00 per month.

Anyway, other than the obvious, who is to blame for Kalonzos’ terrible and persistent heckling and jeering in his very own Ukambani backyard? Me says PNU perpetrators

Lucy was perfectly in order,just imagine if lucy were prezo then the mc introduces mwai as mwiraria,don't you think it is disrespectful.And by the way in nyeri it is normal for women to slap around jamas when they have messed up.My ex was from nyeri and this was normal.I think this is why mwai opted for wambui.
Happy holidays.

If the Daily Nation was at this function, why did the editors find Lucy's delporable actions something not newsworthy? And if the KBC was there, why did they edit their footage? These are the nation's premier media groups and they can't give us news in its totality? What a shame.

But once again we see why President Kibaki cannot be reelected. His supporters may find such behavior funny, something to muse about. Yet for those who love and respect the flag of our nation, the sacrifices of men like Field Marshall Dedan Kimathi, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, General China, Ramogi Achien`g Oneko, Bildad Kaggia and Jomo Kenyatta, to see a first lady who behaves worse than an adolescent in the nation's most hallowed grounds is no laughing matter. Shame on Lucy. And shame on the man who calls her "My dear wife."

This is why elections matter!

Common Phil give Hon First Lady a break. She is only being natural in protecting her turf. Did you expect her to smile at such an obtuse goof? Once with Moody is excusable but another 'nobody' no please. Wambui can claim greatness by latent association but Lucy must remain visible and if that involves working the palms why not? Imagine some nobody insinuating that your .5m will soon be shared with Mary whose face leaves you looking like a genocide?

Lucy Kibaki is a disgrace to Kenya and Kenyans. The office of the first lady in my opinion has outlived its usefulness at least in Kenya. Let us have "The President's wife" from next year.

Can't believe that some people are still trying to protect her. A good friend tells you when you are wrong...guess the PNU supporters justifying this behaviour are worse than Lucy...
