Can somebody tell me what happened to the election? If I remembered correctly, after we patiently put up with months of campaign overload, a surfeit of election debates and turgid promises, we all went to the polling stations cheerfully like good responsible democratic citizens to cast our votes and choose our leader.

Then we waited for the results with bated breath.

Desi Anwar is currently holding a photographic exhibition of Lamu, Kenya at Cassis Restaurant at Pavilion Apartment. Lamu is a small island off the west coast of Kenya in Africa that is still relatively sheltered from modernity and that still retains its tradition of Swahili Arabs and Portuguese colonialisation. It is fascinating to visit and not a known tourist destination.
