A Grand Coalition or a Grand Corruption?
April 15, 2008 by Poipoi
Ok now we know who the cabinet members are, most of us are still asking 42 ministers with 50 or so assistants? Almost half of the MPs in Government! Soon we will be calling it “a Parliament of Ministers” – Reminiscent of “Ali Baba and the forty thieves” or better yet “a gang of robbers”…wonder who among the 42 could be Ali Baba? We’ll find out soon…
Mere Departments are now full ministries.
Talk of political pragmatism….ministry of Fisheries Development, Livestock Development; My Headmaster would call it monotony or a waste of words! Why not just call it Ministry of agriculture and leave it there? Here is another one: Ministry of Environment & Natural Resources AND Water & Irrigation…..ok, am lost……is water not a Natural resource?
Again back to my conservative Headmaster, why not merge the two and just call it “Environment & Natural Resources!? Speaking of rewarding sycophants who cling to power. Kenyans will remain hostages of the political class until His Second Coming!
Speaking of sycophants, many of the cabinet members are war Lords - Michuki, Ruto, Kones, Ntimama, you name them, might as well classify them with the Milosevic’s of this world. They should be in Hague answering charges for crimes against humanity.
Failure to mention the PNU cabinet side would be a big injustice, the presence of the architects of mega scandals i.e. Goldenberg & Anglo-Leasing (Saitoti and Kiraitu, the list goes on!) in the present Government makes the whole cabinet a mere joke. Its very unfortunate that the public funds have to start paying their salaries for the 100th time!
On the positive side, these are duly elected leaders by Kenyans. The Kenyans that voted overwhelmingly have a part to praise, blame or both. We get leaders that we deserve. I hope one day we get woken up by reality and not regret!
Yah its true that the naming of ministries is a total confusion.The splitting of the main ministry and calling the other which all the same means the same thing is a total confusion.I am confused what Nairobi metropolitan ministry is all about and yet we have Nairobi Municipal Council; is that that since ODM took the chair for Mayor is when PNU decided to create the Nairobi Metropolitan ministry so that they channel the powers of Nairobi Municipal Council towards their favor?
Me am too tired to have me pay the taxes to make the ministers rich instead of my tax doing a serious development projects that benefit Kenyans.This is robbery without violent for a poor kenyan tax payer.God forbid.
