Unless you have been under a rock, you have heard about and probably even seen Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero slapping Nairobi Women's Representative MP Rachel Shebesh across the face at his offices last Friday.

The story goes that Shebesh stormed the gubernatorial offices with a group of striking workers. The governor opened the door to his office and was surprised to find Shebesh with about 30 people. There was some commotion during which Kidero claims Shebesh assaulted his groin, and he retaliated by slapping her across the face. The two have since recorded statements with the police and the matter is under investigation. I don't know what you investigate with a youtube video running rampant on the web.
