In the soap drama that is Kenyan politics - don't you think it's funny that Luis Moreno Ocampo - the Argentinian ICC lawyer who is driving the investigation into post election violence here in Kenya - is rather a dish?
The local newspapers love to put his photo on the front page every day and well they might. He's the great hope of Kenyans, the only person who can ensure their ever seeing justice done (some displaced Kenyans are still in IDP camps two years on!). While many may hope his image simply strikes fear into the hearts of guilty post election violence perpetrators and incitors, I'm just rather impressed that he is so easy on the eye.
When he visited Kenya he didn't disappoint, looking very cool, stroking a cheetah at the animal orphanage in a jacket and jeans.
Talking of celebrities. Serena Williams was in town last week to revisit her various charitable projects. In an article entitled 'Who upset Tennis Queen?' Reporters say that she arrived in town in a 'foul mood' and would not speak to anyone. The resulting rather long, padded out article in the Standard was a delight to read.
'Under the cover of dark glasses, she appeared unconcerned about the presence of the scribes who defied chilly weather to cover her arrival'
(That one tickled me paticularly. After all, Nairobi's not so chilly really!)
and
'Photojournalists were forced to peep through the door to snap up pictures from a distance, thanks to digital technology!'
'A tired looking Serena sat quietly in a couch for over 20 minutes before moving befittingly to the Serena Hotel in the CBD where she will be staying.'
is he really that good looking? where? which part? we must be from very different era's
ReplyDeleteSpot on, Mr Ocampo is soo hot. Just the man for the job, lol!
ReplyDeleteTAHNKS FOR YOUR SHARING~~~VERY NICE ........................................
ReplyDeleteI beg to disagree. He is not the best hope for Kenya. He would be if only he had the power and legal support to deal with the suspects. I doubt he will be successful in getting anyone tried for the crimes. Kenyans are their own best hope.
ReplyDeleteAbout his looks, I guess he would be considered cool.
To Kennedy - well Kenyans unfortunately haven't done a good job so far in getting any one convicted. I know everyone can sit back and blame the politicians - but we ultimately all get the leaders we deserve and if Kenyans won't protest in large numbers then the politicians will keep getting away with murder - literally.
ReplyDeletedo you honestly think he will make such a big impact to Kenya...when will you people ever get the fact that he is dividing Kenya instead of building it....!!! OPEN YOUR EYES!! yes, people got killed but we can deal with our own problems..this will only create a major rift between the communities and make matters a lot worse than we all think and before we all know it we shall have a civil war and the starter will be LUIS MORENO OCAMPO and the ever selfish AMERICANS!!
