  • The President of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) Nelson Havi on Sunday, November 14, responded to a cartoon ridiculing his campaign fundraiser.

    In a statement published on his social media handle, Havi thanked a local media publication, a weekly columnist and the National Intelligence Service (NIS) for a cartoon poster doing rounds on social media.

    The cartoon also seemed to downplay the LSK boss’ move to ask members of the public to raise funds to support his bid for the Westlands parliamentary seat.

    “Thank you Sunday Nation, NIS and Gabriel Oguda for this wonderful election campaign fundraiser poster in support of my quest for Westlands Constituency Member of National Assembly,” Havi wrote.

    The poster depicted Havi, dressed in a green overall, seated beside a wall at the “corridors of power”, holding a hat used to collect donations from members of the public. Also, in the cartoon there is a woman, representing the common citizen, asking the man to clarify what he wants.

    “Unatakako pesa ama kura? Chaguako mocha,” the woman in the cartoon indicated – which translates to “Do you want votes or money? Choose one.”

    In addition, on the wall ‘Havi’ was leaning on, were the phrases: ‘Changia Teamavi,’ ‘Chaiguevara for Westlands M. Pig’ which should ideally have read Team Havi, Che Guevara and MP.

    Based on the Kenyan context, the term chai, which translates to tea, is frequently used to mean bribes while MPigs has been used in a negative connotation to refer to non-performing politicians.

    However, Havi downplayed the cartoon, reminding them that they had forgotten to add how the public can contribute to his political campaign. 

    On November 11, the flamboyant lawyer called upon well-wishers to contribute to his quest to become a lawmaker in the next government. He provided a paybill number as well as an account number through which they would remit their contributions.

    According to the advocate, the money would go into funding his campaign’s four-point manifesto: good legislation, equitable revenue allocation, effective executive oversight and infrastructural development and alleviating poverty.
