Shakespeare’s Secret Masterpiece: Did the Bard Pen the King James Bible as His Greatest Prank?

Imagine a world where the greatest literary mind of all time didn’t just write Hamlet or Romeo and Juliet—but secretly crafted the King James Bible, slipping in a cheeky wink to posterity. It's a notion so audacious it feels ripped from a Shakespearean comedy: the Bard, quill in hand, pulling the wool over the eyes of kings, clergy, and history itself. But is there a shred of truth to the tantalising claim that Shakespeare’s finest work—and most devilish jest—was the Holy Book that shaped the English-speaking world? Let’s dive into this literary whodunit with a pint of scepticism and a dash of Elizabethan flair. The King James Bible, unveiled in 1611, stands as a monument of language and faith. Commissioned by King James I, it was the brainchild of a crack team of 47 scholars—learned blokes steeped in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, tasked with forging a definitive English translation. Meanwhile, across the cobbled streets of London, William Shakespeare, born in 1564, was the toast of th...

Murkomen vs. Madowo 2.0 Loading: The Sequel Nobody Asked For – JKIA Redux


In the latest installment of Kenya's favourite comedy series, Transport CS Kipchumba Murkomen and CNN's Larry Madowo are no doubt gearing up for Round 2 in their epic battle over the dismal state of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA). With leaks, floods, and general chaos reigning supreme, it seems like we're in for a sequel that's even more laughable than the original.

The Return of the Roofs

As the rains pour down on Nairobi, so too do the leaks at JKIA, much to the chagrin of both travellers and armchair critics alike. Murkomen, ever the defender of government ineptitude, finds himself once again in the crosshairs of Madowo's sharp wit and even sharper tweets.

A Tale of Two Twits

The traditional exchanges between Murkomen and Madowo read like a Shakespearean comedy, with each protagonist taking turns to jab at the other's shortcomings. From Murkomen's feeble attempts at deflecting blame to Madowo's relentless pursuit of truth, it's a battle of wits that would make even the Bard himself chuckle. Could it be possible that Murkomen has since sharpened his responses to stop sounding like a beleaguered victim? Is Madowo's wit still as sharp? We wait to see.

Murkomen's Melodrama

Despite the mounting evidence of JKIA's descent into chaos, Murkomen remains steadfast in his refusal to acknowledge reality. Instead of addressing the glaring issues plaguing the airport, he chooses to blame everything from leaky roofs to faulty runways on anyone but himself. It's a masterclass in political buffoonery that would make even the most seasoned circus clown blush.

Madowo Strikes Back

But Madowo, armed with a Twitter account and a penchant for righteous indignation, refuses to let Murkomen off the hook. With every tweet, he exposes the absurdity of Murkomen's excuses and shines a light on the incompetence of those tasked with running Kenya's transportation infrastructure.

The Waiting Game

As Kenyans brace themselves for the inevitable flood of excuses and deflections from the powers that be, one thing remains clear: until someone takes responsibility for JKIA's sorry state, we'll continue to be treated to this never-ending saga of leaks, floods, and farcical finger-pointing.

In the grand tradition of Kenyan politics, the Murkomen-Madowo showdown over JKIA proves once again that when it comes to comedy, truth is always stranger than fiction. As we await the next installment of this riveting saga, one can't help but wonder: will Murkomen finally take action, or will Madowo be forced to pack his bags and head for greener pastures? Only time will tell.
