Using Split function

Question

How can I take a dictionary having one key-value pair and split the value as follows-

a={"description":"hello,hi,hey,hola"}

Now I would like to split the value through second comma and store the two values as(creating a new key-value pair in the dictionary)--

a={"description":"hello,hi","kkajan":"hey,hola"}

Something like,

>>> a_split = a['description'].split(',')
>>> a_list = { 'description' : ','.join(a_split[:2]), 'kkajan' : ','.join(a_split[2:]) }
>>> a_list
{'kkajan': 'hey,hola', 'description': 'hello,hi'}
