International More African Laughter!

Posted by on Mon, Aug 3, 2009 at 10:41 AM

At first it looks like a noble gesture:

BBC: More than 4,000 prisoners on death row in Kenya will have their sentences commuted to life imprisonment, President Mwai Kibaki has announced.

No death sentences have been carried out in Kenya for more than two decades.

Since then more than 4,000 people have been on death row in the country's overcrowded, underfunded prisons.

Then we see the truth:

Giving reasons for commuting all these sentences to life imprisonment, President Kibaki said the law did not allow those prisoners to work.

He said this had led to idleness and had affected general prison discipline.


The sad truth makes us laugh and laugh—he, he, he; ha, ha, ha.

Dead people make poor slaves. This gives people on death row a chance to give back to the elite part of the society they have wronged.
