It all started with a full page with pencils and a sharpener. Actually, i thought it was an Ad Agency making some adverts on their company, product or vacancy.
Only yesterday did
Eastandard unleash their latest in their magazine pullout stable
The Eastandard Election Platform.
Clearly, five months to the election, they have started a noble project and they say it will go all the way to after the creation of the Cabinet. As they said, the decision on who will be in parliament starts with the inaugral issue of the pullout.
Its first page on Raila 'Can't Touch This!' by Mochama was as incisive as it was hilarious and informative. So was the Gender Agenda which showed what all along had been my observation - that women are their greatest enemies and giving them freebies in the name of seats is bad, bad, bad! They have to fight for them like Karua, Ngilu and others.
The pages on Nakuru constituencies was also well researched, so was their political crossword puzzle.
To say it honestly, EAStd has set the trail on the platform of the 10 General Election in Kenya's History. Am just hoping that they will in due course give Jeeh Wanjurah a political satirist in their Sunday Standard a page to pen some of his witty observations.
