BOMB scare in Nairobi

On Wednesday this week, a word went around that a funny looking bag had been left around the GPO (General Post Office). For your information, Nairobi GPO does not house any American embassy – I mean for Kenya , Somalia or otherwise. It doesn’t even house Kenya’s most hated MPs. So you are wondering just like am doing why anybody would waste his or her bomb on letters?! Anyway the entire Nairobi was thrown into utter disarray. City residents running helter skelter.The Kenyan police in full combat gear (Not that I know what their full gear is, but Kenyan police are known to respond to a mosquito bite with a hammer, and a lion attack with a pair of good looking boxing gloves! Hah!) were on site doing some funny cleansing antics that would put Mombasa’s witch doctors to shame. Thrice bitten, forth shy. After all those movie-like antics and counter antics, the police realised that in fact it was unattended garbage. Mind you Nairobi has been very clean of late thanks to the Town Clerk John Gakuo….You just have to drop your cigarette butt on River road (Down Town Nairobi) and you will leave Nairobians scampering for safety…There is a BOMB!
