Kenya politicians have recently adopted the crying in public to win voters soles.
A 2005 anthology described tears as vehicles of feelings that go too deep for language – the sorrow of exile, the sparkle of ecstasy, the weight of memory and the wound of empathy.
Among the notaries cry experts include :
Kalonzo Musyoka
He is a former presidential candidate as well as Wiper party leader.
Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka is the latest politician who caught the attention of many Kenyans when he cried in public during a National Super Alliance (NASA) press conference. From the video, Kalonzo was seen wiping his eyes while NASA leader Raila Odinga was talking about the attack at his home. There were reports that a grenade-like object was hurled at his house at around 2.am on Wednesday 31 January.
