Nowayhaha,

The only person I would hope to see in the cabinet slot is former Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) Director Julius Kipng’etich, he is a perfomer.

I wonder if does meet the constitutional requirement with the rest.

Btw, I need to start preparing myself for this nominations, you never know... ;D

I am equally confused, I thought we had proposed to exempt from cabinet and other government appointments anyone who had oarticipated in the preceding elections.

Having said that, I have to agree with Horth that the list cannot be true as that is not what we expect from Jubilee.

[kamalet]

...tyranny of numbers!!

7 kikuyus and 2 kalenjin....the message is clear what was being attempted!

Yes indeed!! One night not too long ago, when Kenyans were asleep, the Mpigs mutilated the relevant act of parliament that forbade anybody who has been in politics for last five years to be appointed cabinet secretary. So all one needs to do is to resign their seat and be nominated by the president!! So the Balalas, Ngilus, Kutunys and Mudavadi....yes Mudavadi aka MaDVD will soon be in cabinet!!!

Einstein ,
What is the basis of your claims ? Of the last 30 trending threads only one has reference to Kenyan post . Would you rather discuss content of the matter rather than throw unfounded allegations . In this case scenario if you would have noticed I too questioned the authenticity of cabinet secretary line up -refer to the subject matter .

Do note that this line up has been doing rounds in the social media, blogs and several sites . See below links

PRESIDENT-elect Uhuru Kenyatta is already at work choosing his new Cabinet. He is due to be sworn on March 26, assuming the Supreme Court dismisses the Cord petition against the election.

Key elected politicians are now considering quitting their parliamentary positions to join executive government. However there are only 22 positions in the new Cabinet which have to be split 50-50 between Uhuru's TNA party and Deputy President-elect William Ruto's URP party.

Uhuru is supposed to cater for Charity Ngilu and Narc, while Ruto is suppose to provide for Najib Balala and his Republican Congress Party

Uhuru and Ruto have set up a team of TNA and URP power brokers to look at Cabinet appointments that would cater for political interests while fulfilling constitutional requirements. Charles Keter is heading the URP side while Jamleck Kamau is heading the TNA side.

Their meetings have been running late into the night. Uhuru's nephew Jomo Gecaga appears to have already taken up the role of Chief of Staff and Private Secretary and was at Uhuru's side as he and Ruto met various delegations since Monday.

State House political adviser Nancy Gitau, who has been the overall coordinator of the Uhuru campaign, is likely to replace Francis Kimemia as Head of Civil Service and Cabinet Secretary.

There is still debate on who should be the head of the Presidential Press Service and Government Spokesman. Uhuru's current spokesman Munyori Buku is likely to take up the role of PPS director but Muthui Kariuki is likely to be replaced as spokesman.

Jamleck Kamau, Kigumo MP-elect, and Murugi Esther Murugi, Nyeri town MP-elect, are expected to resign to take up Cabinet posts. Charles Keter, the Kericho Senator-elect, may also quit to join Cabinet.

He is currently coordinating the URP side of the coalition with the elevation of Ruto to Deputy President-elect. Finance minister Njeru Githae, who did not stand in the election after failing to get the TNA Kirinyaga governor nomination, is set to remain at the Treasury.

On Tuesday, Uhuru and Ruto gave Githae the Jubilee manifesto and asked him and his officials to start preparing for its implementation. Yesterday the three met again and Githae briefed Uhuru on key priority areas.

Garissa Township MP-elect Aden Duale may also quit to either become Speaker of the National Assembly or to join the new Cabinet. Others in the race for plum government jobs include Charity Ngilu, Chirau Mwakwere, Najib Balala and Joshua Kuttuny who all lost during the elections.

Raphael Tuju and Eugene Wamalwa, who did not contest any position, have both been proposed as possible cabinet secretaries for Foreign Affairs.

However the Jubilee team is facing pressure from various quarters to bring new dynamic faces in the Cabinet. In making their appointments, Uhuru and Ruto must also respect constitutional requirements for ethnic, regional and gender balance.

The Assumption to the Office of the President Committee presented the Jubilee team a government structure of 21 ministries. The constitution allows for 22 ministries so another ministry can be created in future.

Several ministries have been merged and ministerial functions restructured. According to the Committee, it will strengthen the dispensing of public services to Kenyans.

In the proposal, the Ministry of National Security has merged Internal Security with Defence. Its departments will consist of the National Police Service Commission and the National Intelligence and Defence Council.

The Agriculture Ministry has been combined with five other ministries and will be the largest portfolio in the next government. It will take charge of 40 state functions and have control over 42 parastatals.

The ministry has absorbed the current ministries of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries, Co-operatives, and Water and Irrigation. Home Affairs docket will take over the ministries of Immigration, National Heritage and Culture, Special Programmes, and Development of Northern Kenya.

It will also take charge of the restructured Provincial Administration including County Co-coordinators, District Commissioners, Chiefs, and Assistant Chiefs.

The Ministry of Local Government has been renamed the Ministry of Devolution and County Governments. The new docket combines the current ministries of Nairobi Metropolitan and Local Government and will take charge of devolution.

The Ministry of East African Community is likely to be merged with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Roads with the Ministry of Public Works.

Industrialisation, Regional Development and Trade will now be under the proposed Ministry of Trade and Industrialisation. Youth Affairs and Sports, Gender, Children and Social Development. Environment, Mineral Resources, Forestry and Wildlife will be within the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources.

Basic Education and Higher Education will combine under the Ministry of Education. Public Health and Medical Services will merge. However the Justice ministry will remain on its own as will Energy, Tourism, Transport, and Information and Communication.

We need capable people in State posts, not sycophants

I have some unsolicited advice for Uhuru Kenyatta, assuming that CORD loses election petition in the Supreme Court and the President-elect is sworn-in.

Soon after officially taking reigns of power, Uhuru is expected to start nominating people to various State positions, including Cabinet secretaries, principal secretaries, parastatal heads, and ambassadors, among others.

A lot has been said about the need for a national face in the Cabinet and entire civil service. And this is where the new Head of State’s first impression lies. President Kibaki scored poorly on this front.

People who have been close to Uhuru and his deputy William Ruto are jostling for various positions for themselves, their kin, and sycophants.

Some of these are basing their demands on issues that are of little or no substance. They do not care about the other Kenyans and could front names of people from his village with no regard to the rights and interests of Kenya.

Uhuru should first be preparing on how to fend off such pressure and start by only going for people who merit the various positions they are seeking.

For instance, I do not see why Uhuru should start by picking people who just lost in the elections and make them Cabinet secretaries, parastatal heads or ambassadors.

The public rejected these people because they failed to perform and it would be disastrous for them to make their way back into the system through the backdoor just because they happened to have been in Jubilee Coalition.

There are Kenyans, some very young, who have emerged out there and can breath fresh air into the public service. They may not be good orators or known public figures, but they have been contributing more towards a better Kenya compared to politicians angling for a slice of the Uhuru government.

I just imagine what Dr James Mwangi can do in a ministry if accorded the chance. This is a man who transformed Equity Bank from a small housing co-operative society to the giant it is today. And what a noble “Wings to Fly” idea?

Other people that Uhuru could consider is former Kenya Commercial Bank Chief Executive Martin Oduor-Otieno, Vimal Shah (Bidco Chief Executive), Co-Founder of AfricaOnline Ayisi Makatiani, Vision 2030 Board CEO Mugo Kibati, among many others. The point is, even if these are not among the personalities to be considered, there are many other Kenyans out there who are doing a splendid job and merit appointment as Cabinet and principal secretaries, among other top public positions.

standardmedia.co.ke/?articleID=2000079395&story_title=Kenya-We-need-capable-people-in-State-posts,-not-sycophants

Have we really ever had a shortage of capable people at the top in Kenya? Whether under Moi or Jomo snr.? Kibaki at Finance, Saitoti at Finance, Raila at Energy, Professor Karanja at education! ---Their failure, described adequately by Ngugi wa Thiong'o as a prosperous small middle-class cruising atop a sea of destitute slums, is not explained by their professional incompetence. ;D ;D

The corruption drowning Kenya too, is not explained by lack of ace administrators nor competence at the top! I rank Ambassador Muthaura as competent as they come, when it comes to running a state! But there you have him running death squads and hauled to the Hague. ---So one has to suspect it is another quality one may want at the top, if one wants to catch up with the likes of truly DIGITAL South Korea, the most wired state on Earth!

But, anyway
What I notice in all these speculation cabinet lists, is the total contempt at labour oriented policy people. The whole labour movement, nor her thinkers, her activists, executives, at a time when LABOUR UNREST has been a determining factor in public life ----strikes or threatened strikes from teachers, nurses, manambas and matatu owners, askari-jelas, does not seem to feature even a dot in these so-called dream-team line-ups.

Ace CEO Mwangi, or Ace banker Oduor, will all get nowhere when municipality or city council workers from Mombasa to Nairobi to Kisumu are battling the police on the streets coz of late pay, or pay-cheques frozen without consultation [As Uhuru and Ruto have already intimated].

And how about the Dock Workers? fire them all and replace them with the military? MANAGING LABOUR RELATIONS IS THE KEY TO ECONOMIC TAKE OFF! INDUSTRIAL DISPUTES AND GENERAL UNREST CAN DRY UP ALL MARKET CONFIDENCE, INVESTMENT AND DERAIL POLICY GOALS.

aND Pwani si Kenya? anyone think there will be much of a a dollar-harvesting tourist economy if the GSU is deployed at the Coast to keep peace? Keep a lid on the 'historical injustices' aka land problem?

Please Kenyans, we get the politics right, we get the economy rocket. We get the politics wrong, no dream-team CEOs is worth more than dung.

Have we forgotten George Saitoti was an all aces brain at Goldenberg Finance? or Professor Ndung'u at CBK, crying for the shirringi to priis raiz up, you think he aint ace upstairs?

Rethink thy politics, is what I think. O Kenya. Then we move Turbo.
