Ngilu Sex Scandal and Wanguhu Nganga's call

[roughrider]

A few months ago, political maverick Wanguhu Nganga called a press conference to tell Charity Ngilu to resign as cabinet Minister and MP, or failing to do so be dismissed.

Reason: Press reports had it that Ngilu and busybody media man and politician Tony Gachoka had been caught pants down in a car – tinted windows et al – at the park yard of Paklands Sports Club.

Allegedly, concerned security guards had noticed the car rocking gently – I suppose like you do a child’s cot – and moved closer to investigate…only to confront the sight of their lives.

Mr Nganga did not think it was in good order for a person of Mrs Ngilu’s stature and position to be caught in such compromising circumstances… and continue to be in the cabinet. Bad example.

My questions are:

Was Mr. Nganga right in demanding this resignation/ dismissal?
Are the social affairs of public officers’ material to their positions? [remember the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal: President Clinton at that time was presiding over a roaring economy even as he messed up with white house interns]
Should we be concerned that an MP or minister solicits prostitutes from Koinange street or has extra marital flings when that same leader delivers?

Recall also that kenyans have been treated to a spellbinding soap opera known as the 'Battle of the Kibaki wives'. While it is most interesting to observe, is this something for voters to be concerned about?

For the record: Mrs. Ngilu and Mr Gachoka have denied the allegations and two suits are in court
According to the east African Standard, Ngilu says it was unfortunate that she had been portrayed as a person of loose morals who had committed acts of adultery in a car within the precincts of a club.

She says the falsehoods had also sent wrong signals that she had no regard for the institution of marriage and was unfaithful to her spouse.

She says she has been portrayed as a sex maniac and a person who should be shunned by right thinking members of society.

The minister says she has also been portrayed as a person who awards her lover(s) with lucrative Government tenders.

This is NOT a trick question. I thought it would be easy to form opinions and even easier to express them.

Seems I was wrong.

Anyhow as i made my daily excursions into the web I came accross this letter by raju Ummamaheswar which gave me some momentary pause:

Why are most hurricanes "female?"

WHY are most hurricanes given female names? Barring Hurricane Hugo or Mitch, all others have a feminine moniker; like the recent Katrina and Rita, not to speak of that infamous calamity Jane.

Girls feel it galling that gargantuan gales are named after them, so much so that in the USA recently, those called Katrina and Rita felt constrained to change their names. Why this gender bias?

Again, why is that females are always associated with bad temper?

Shrew is a bad-tempered woman. A spinster is invariably associated with an unattractive woman, "left on the shelf," whereas a chronic bachelor is a gay bachelor, foot-loose and fancy-free.

A woman with loose-morals is a misogynist slam whereas, a libertine promiscuous male is a stud, a term of approbation for his so-called virility.

We all have heard of the the the bull of Auckland in our political circles.

A wicked, vicious woman is a witch, harridan and a harlot. However, her counterpart is warlock or shaman, knowledge-seeking.

It is indeed a man’s world.
