President Goodluck Jonathan had his official visit to Kenya last week, September 5-7, 2013.
The program for the visit was very intense, included meetings with Nigerians living in Kenya,
with Kenyan ministers, and the President, Uhuru Kenyatta. The results
of the visit were described as very successful as President Jonathan
signed several bilateral agreements, and also became the first foreign
head of state to address the country’s parliament.
The
bright picture is spoiled by an ugly incident, when the Governor of
Nairobi allegedly slapped a female representative of a workers union.
Evans
Kidero, the Governor of Nairobi, had just finished meeting with
President Goodluck Jonathan, when he reportedly assaulted the woman in
question.
According
to reports, the woman, Rachael Shebesh was at the forefront of a
protest by Nairobi City County workers who were demanding for better
pay. They met the governor and it was while making their demands that
Gov. Kidero slapped Shebesh.
What a rude, non-gentleman’s act!
