Probably you have heard that there will be no garden veggies for Malia and Sasha Obama. At least not from their White House garden.
The rich also cry, indeed. I'm certain that their cousins in Nyang'oma K'Ogello are spoilt for choice in this regard. They have something that the Obamas will never have in Washington: an unspoilt natural environment. These are the daughters of US President Barack and Lady Michelle Obama. You can never, really, have it all, can you?
The story is that former tenants Bill and Hillary Clinton, with their daughter Chelsea, used sludge as a fertilizer substitute in the garden before the Obama children were born. "Bad bad big sis, Chelsea! You spoilt Malia and Sasha's soup." Sadly, the levels of sewage, estimated from the residues of lead in the soil are such that the American Firsl Lady, no less, can not achieve her dream of organic vegetables at her backyard. This is barring that Barry will do what Nebuchardnezzar II did for his sick wife Amyrtis of Media and create, for Michelle, the Hanging Gardens of Washington.
Wait a moment. Do we know the soil condition at the house on the hill in Nairobi? In Washington, it is the National Park Service that took samples of soil from the White House, analysed, and made this monumental discovery.
The facts are that most of the greens, read, Sukuma Wiki, consumend in Nairobi is grown on sewage. Pray, I wonder, how much lead does the average Nairobian consume in a year? Who will tell us? NEMA? KEBS? Whoever!
We too are as human as those who live in Washington and deserve to know the state of our diet. This is true even where options are few.
Honourable Minister Beth Mugo, could your motherly concern help with this please?
