from Daniel Juma
At a time when we are trying to enforce the 1/3 gener rule, I am shocked that people are complaining about Agnes being the Budget Controller. As Kenyans we must make deleberate decisions to give women a chance in governance and this choice was one such deliberate decision. Those who still think women are not good enuff for such for positions are still living in the 9th Century.

It is not Women that people are noticing, it is the Tribe. Why is only Luos?
What we are seeing is , a Luo filling all positions with his Luo tribe!
Do you get it?
kindly get it that not everybody whose name starts with an O is a Luo! The lady is a Luhya!But even if she was a Luo,is it wrong for her to have been appointed is she qualifies for it.We need to get over this tendency of first looking at the tribe of any Kenyan appointed to a public office before checking whetter they are qualified.These appointments are made by the two Principals after consultations and are not made unilaterally by the PM as is being insinuated here!
KIBAKI, KALONZO MUSYOKA AND KIRAITU MURUNGI CONDEMN THE VICTIMS AT THE UKAMBANI FUNERAL
The very perpetrators of motor vehicle accidents are ordered to take action to stop accidents they cause with their greed instead of being arrested for harvesting money from public transport drivers who owe them nothing at road blocks. The police long ago stopped checking on the roadworthiness of vehicles and are openly and shamelessly collecting KSh. 100 from every conductor at every road block as they joke jovially with the disadvantaged conductors and drivers who they treat as colleagues. In the watch of the public they droop to retrieve from the ground where the 100 shilling bill has been dropped for them. This makes Nyanza Province a very lucretive place to work as junior police offiers apparently harvest for their OCSs the much needed money. On which basis do the OCSs claim ownership of the money belonging to public transport operators?
Our honourable president has chosen never to see the ugly side of police but instead shameslessly condemn the victmised conductors and drivers.
Between Oyugis and Kisumu there are 11 roadblocks where the police collects KSh 1100 daily from each matatu, that is KSh 33000 per month from each matatu alone leading police apprently smiling all the way to the banks. These are the officers who according to the hew constitution are supposed to reform themselves!
At the funeral it took the courage of he Prime Minster to call a spade a spade and not a big spoon because that is what it is by condemning the police for taking bribes from public transport conductors and drivers.
The driver who ”killed” innocent people in Ukamabani was taking a short cut and running for his life to escape the hungry and heartless police. This is a fact that the president, Kiraitu Murungi and Kalonzo Musyoka chose not to highlight for obvious reasons. Shame on our leadership.
