Juzi I saw Wetangula doing it on top of a car surrounded by 'hustler'/mama mboga types Two English words for every swa. Today, I'm seeing Eugene Wamalwa doing it to a group of Wazee in shagz. He seems he has to remind himself t switch back to swa. Both times, the crowds were very dull, and no wonder!

If you watch people like Baba/Ruto talking to crowds, you see people who know how to talk the most common of common folk's language. This is one thing you have to give to Uhuru. Despite being a cerelac baby he knows how to speak like a common man to the most common folk. Maybe he learned to do it in bars Definiely better than kina Gideon/PK/Wetangula/Eugene. Even Kaloi knows. Mudamba is better than kina Eugene but he struggles compared to kina Uhuru/Kaloi.

Bukusus are the very definition of a contradiction.
They'd be at home in Uganda than Kenya.
Bukusu- Busaa loving polygamous traditional society
That also believe like Luos that they are smart
It doesnt matter if they live in poverty.
They will speak all English they know from their huts.
It confusing mix of traditions and modernity
Of humility and ego.

Bukusu would be home in Uganda

It totally contrasting to say Kalenjin or Kikuyu.
That abhors busaa or polgamy or traditions if you're progressive
Where i come - you gotta to make choice.
Are you progressive or traditional
You cannot be both.

Half people are traditional - catholic - follow cultures- drink busaa - etc
Half people are evangeical - protestant - disavow culture. - dont drink - etc

Bukusu is like catholic traditional polygamous and only distinction is speaking English

They speak English to say I am educated and smart
While in our place it would mean I am a snob and a prick.
