‘Watermelon’ politicians

Tuesday, Cabinet minister William Ruto and Dr Naomi Shaban talked of monies received from ‘watermelon’ politicians, meaning those who are ‘green’ outside and ‘red’ inside.

Poor watermelon, just like the orange and banana, its nutritious value may soon be clouded over by politics.

But before that happens, let us remind ourselves: The watermelon is a good thirst quencher and is priceless when it comes to controlling inflammations that cause asthma, diabetes, colon cancer, arthritis and arteriosclerosis. Finally, it has no cholesterol or fats. So, let us eat watermelons but avoid being watermelons!
