Uhuru met with Raila Odinga. After facing enough problems running his government, he decided to ask him, "How did you run such an efficient government with Kibaki? Are there any tips you can give to me? I want to help this country Bwana Tinga, it’s burning!"
"Well," said Raila, "the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people."
Uhuru frowned, and then asked, "But how do I know the people around me are really intelligent?"
Raila replied, "Oh, that's easy, you just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle." Raila pushed a button on his intercom. "Please send Ababu Namwamba in here, would you?"
Ababu Namwamba walked into the room and said, "Yes, your Excellency?"
Raila smiled and said, "Answer this riddle. Ababu, your mother and father have a child, it is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?" Without pausing for a minute Ababu answered, "that would be me, Sir!"
"Yes, very good," said Raila.
Uhuru went back to his office to ask his trusted lieutenant Hon. Moses Kuria.
UHURU: Answer this. Your mother and your father have a child, it's not your brother and it's not your sister, who is it?
KURIA: "I'm not sure, let me get back to you."
He asked all his staff in the office but none could give him an answer. Finally, one day, Moses Kuria ran into Dr. Alfred Mutua. Moses Kuria asked, Mutua,
KURIA: Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or sister, who is it?" Alfred Mutua answered sharply, "That's easy, it’s me!" Kuria smiled, and said "Thanks!"
Then he went back to speak with President Uhuru.
KURIA: Sir, I have the answer to that riddle, It's Dr. Alfred Mutua!
Uhuru got angry, he said to Moses Kuria. "No wonder Kenya isn't moving forward, I am surrounded by enough Dummies like you! The answer is Ababu Namwamba!"
