Yesterday our Finance Minister, the dear and honourable Amos Kimunya (who I understand is - funnily enough - Kibaki's nephew!) told the press "He would rather die than resign his post"

Wow! A Kenyan politician doing the honorable thing!
Or even: Wow! A politician doing the honorable thing!

I knew Kenya would rise from the ashes, and common sense would reign once again in parliament - or am I jumping the gun with rose-tinted glasses of gin and tonic?

Hi MC
I quite agree, but for any politician to relinquish his post is a step in the right direction.
In the UK you can always tell when an MP is about to go. The PM states that said MP has the full backing of the party - a political death knell if there ever was one.
