As Kenyans keenly follow the petition proceedings at the Supreme Court, they couldn’t help but get excited when lawyer Willis Otieno used a pre-school rhythm just to drive a point home.
The lawyer who is representing petitioner David Kariuki Ngari, resorted to singing a popular nursery rhyme “Pinky Pinky Ponky” in Dholuo while demonstrating how IEBC Chair Wafula Chebukati ran the electoral body.
While sweating profusely Mr Otieno explained how Mr Chebukati had turned the commission’s mandate into a child’s play when he opted to sing the nursery rhyme.
“What Chebukati did is what my niece, Mimi, calls ‘Pinky pinky ponky, Paka mielo disko! (the cat is dancing at a disco),” he said.
He added, “Chebukati calls both Ruto and Raila and he was the only person who knew whom the disco would land on. It fell on Ruto, and he said, voila, you are the president. Is that how we intend to choose our national executive? We have reduced it to Mimi’s Pinky Pinky Ponky Paka…?”.
In typical Kenyan fashion, Kenyans did not waste any time in jumping on the Pinky Pinky Ponky trend with popular producer Motif The Don going ahead and to remix Mr Otieno’s words.
