The delka dinner was full of surprises, Penny walked unto me and said, “Sam our mc cannot be reached, here is the Mic, you are hosting the event” – I immediately lost my voice and at that point my future did not look too bright.. this was bound to go south, I had never hosted/Mceed anything in my life … She must have thought I nodded yes as acceptance.

Fear got the better of me when I saw the American ambassador to Kenya, Michael Ranneberger walk in, Minister of Internal Security Geoge Saitoti, Nigerain Ambassador to Kenya.. dignitaries after dignitaries… so in my panic I did what any decent human being should do in such situations, I ran to the business center got a computer and Google ” tips on how to be an MC“, – and the first tip was .. “a good MC should always be well prepared in advance…..”.

My relationship with Google has been serious jeopardized since then.
