Congratulations to all former Kenyan journalists, who have successfully transitioned to the world of politics. Journalism after all is about serving the public's interests and this ties in very well, after being elected or nominated to political office. Yes. Even a scribe can make a good senator.
Kenya's political sphere has for long been dotted by lawyers, economists, doctors, engineers, diplomats, civil servants or people from the business or private sector. But welcome change is now in the air.
And going by the online response sampled below, the nomination to the Senate of a particular
former journalist was extra special.

CELEBRATING A SCRIBE TURNED SENATOR
A youthful, very focused and hardworking lady has just been thrust into the world of Kenyan politics. And she has all it takes to represent important interests, as a nominated Senator. Many seem to be delighted by her new role and are sure she will discharge her responsibilities with diligence.

Naisula Lesuuda: ''i promise...that i'll do all that is good for our people without any bias...will work with all elected leaders and most importantly, serve all people the best way God will guide me. i can hardly tell the difference between clans...so i'll have no preferences. all i know is that our people have languished for a long time...God has a purpose and i'll let His will be done..''. Now she gets to serve the County and Country. A big thank you to TNA!Mike Lalampaa
