Muffled Killers: What went wrong in Kenya?

Last year i caught up with a client along Kimathi Street and ushered him in one of handful up-class restaurants within the street. CCTVs, G4S guards and a mannequin with an overflowing coat ushered us in. Serene and dimly-lit, an environment suitable for a briefcase rendezvous.

My client's fervor spirit immediately gave in to deprecation and barrage of effusive castigation about my choice of the place. I feigned ignorance, for i was really ignorant.

I let mine eyes get accustomed to the surrounding and gulped hard. Yes, the place was darn familiar. Skimpily dressed courtesans batting their eyes at us tables away. We were in a bordello!

I was contrite and profusely apologized for the incidence.

So Nairobi Mayor, George Aladwa, invades the telly space and manages two cents worth of something about legalizing prostitution.The statement is mired with social incorrectness, so he follows his campaign PR's sage and come the next day, the family man with a wife and daughters is filled with compunction, apologizes to the potential voters and asserts the media mis-quote him. Way to go Governor!

It gets juicer. Anne Soi Mwendia, a senior reporter with KTN comes up with a startling revelation about male harlotry in her documentary Muffled Killers.The cogent realization biffed my conscience, down to my throat.

John cried!

Soon public rage was witnessed in social networks, radio discussions et al. Most excoriated the vice, few sympathized. Argue the genetic way and i'll brand you worse expletives than envisaged by our faggot brothers.

I have always had a loathing for faggotry - that uncharacteristic act of chewing asses - for sexual gratification. My certitude ideals have been further strengthened after watching effete masculine figures with effeminate voices, trying to woo the public's battered conscious into accepting them, understand them, hug them with their pink tees.

I remember worrying about a trend of men who are evolving into sissies, the idea of facials, plastic surgery and tights. How does a man wear tights and be comfortable with them?
