EDITOR—I wish to interest authors in writing a book on selected Maj Gen Kahinda Otafiire’s speeches and public interviews. Love him or hate him, you will agree that the local government minister has a way with words!

His speeches are full of metaphors, wit, wisdom and very interesting word choice.

Last week’s Sunday Vision interview was vintage Otafiire. Even when you do not agree with him, you are sure to come away with a laugh when he speaks. A compilation of his public career speeches would make very interesting reading and document for posterity.

Donald Rumsfeld, the former United States defence secretary was an equally fascinating public speaker with several memorable lines and a book entitled The Poetry of Donald Rumsfeld by Hart Seely has been published from his public speeches and interviews.

I bet you that a collection of Otafiire’s one-liners like “...ya kuku” and other quotes would make for terrific reading pleasure today and tomorrow. Why doesn’t some enterprising writer give it a try?
