You know the story by now: 2010, Prof. Anyang Nyong’o (Min., Medical Services) flies out “for treatment” (prostate cancer); a year later, his Public Health and Sanitation partner Beth Mugo flies out “for treatment” (breast cancer).
There’s been a furore about why they flew out “for treatment” when they claim there are capable facilities within the country “for treatment”.
That in mind, there may be other reasons they flew out.
- Play in the snow.
- Scout for fresh names for political parties.
- Tourism.
- Play in the rain. (Which started off as snow, but global warming.)
- See how the media would lap it up. (Such a pitifully predictable lot.)
- Hear what Twitter would say about it. (Such a pitifully predictable lot.)
- #FindSanta
- Play in the cold puddles. (Which just fell as snow, but global warming.)
- See how long Kenyans on Twitter would take to forget about it. With bets. (One week tops. Easy money. Such a pitifully predictable lot.)
- Shop for leather. (Matters of national interest, those seats. I hear a certain buzz about Italian leather.)
- Play in the sand. (Which fell as snow and poof, sublimed. Just like that. Global warming.)
- This guy.

Update, 13 Jan 2012, 0832hrs:
Just seen a tweet from this gentleman here which makes perfect sense:
“Health ministers: the most charitable conclusion is that they were making space for more deserving local cases, ahem…”
In related news: Counting down.
“To what?”
The launch of Beth Mugo’s new cancer foundation.
“Which one?”
Oh, it’s coming.
