KANU politicians busy on the campaign trail have been literally dropping in on poor Kenyan voters located in remote hamlets of the country - in helicopters. Apparently this is the first time their new mode of transport is being utilised in election campaigns; afterall this is the 21st century. It is certainly the first time the villagers are seeing these machines. It is been reported that as soon as these monstrosities descend on terrified poor souls, the entire village, including livestock, take to the bush leaving the perplexed politicians talking to the trees and a few stranded chickens. The use of helicopers by the ruling party seems to be working in favour of the Opposition. What ever happened to the good old fashion 4X4? Anyway, this continent is a wonderful place to be. You guys cannot begin to imagine what you are missing.
