BENJA: Daniso, you seem pensive. What's eating you?
DANISO: Some thoughts don't easily lend themselves to conversation, young man.
BENJA: You could've fooled me. I thought if at all there's a man who's capable of verbalising his thoughts uncensored, that man is you.
DANISO: Sometimes my thoughts are too entangled even for me to unravel.
BENJA: That will be the day. Anyway, what do you think of the Kenyan electoral process right up to the Supreme Court's decision?
DANISO: Uhmm ... let's see now. The electronic registration, voting and transmission of results were a total debacle. Whoever was responsible should've had his ass fried. But in the final analysis, despite a few other minor wrinkles, the result they got is what they would've got even in a glitch free election.
BENJA: I'm of the same opinion.
DANISO: I was also very impressed by two women. Bowled over in fact.
BENJA: Really and who are those two?
DANISO: I thought Martha Karua was the best candidate in the first debate. She was very articulate. But elections don't depend on debates, it would seem. It's all about money and she didn't have lots of that, apparently.
BENJA: You rated her that highly?
DANISO: If I were Kenyan, I would've voted for her.
BENJA: Who's the other one? The Registrar of the Supreme Court?
DANISO: Oh, her. I must say she sounded very professional, but no. It's Daina Kethi Kilonzo, the youngest and only woman counsel. She was quite a revelation. In fact she's become quite a sensation even on Twitter.
BENJA: Aren't you holding back something?
DANISO: I'll be the first to admit that her brilliant brain is fronted by an exquisitely sculpted face and her body packaged in such a way that makes even this old man's loins stir. Yes, she's beautiful and very sexy.
BENJA: I knew it. I knew it.
DANISO: But it's her brains that awed me more. You know I'm a sucker for brilliant minds. After all, it's really a woman's mind that a man is in a relationship with, not the body however well packaged.
BENJA: I'm not so sure about that but I'll let it pass. Now, if you were to draw only one lesson from the process, what would it be?
DANISO: That's a hard ask considering that there are a number of things I would wish replicated here in Malawi ... the debates, for example. They were very well organised. But I suppose the main lesson is that if there are any disputes, any resultant court processes should be dispensed with first before a president elect is sworn in.
BENJA: I also liked that part. But then it's in their new constitution.
DANISO: I know. Anyway, enough about the elections. What's the name of that KTN presenter who was at the Supreme Court, do you remember? The woman? She was excellent.
BENJA. The one with a wedding ring?
DANISO: She's married? Damn! I was about to dust off my passport.
DANISO: Some thoughts don't easily lend themselves to conversation, young man.
