Fellow Kenyans,

In order for the power-sharing exercise to make any sense, ODM / Raila must demand (yes demand) that the current hastily appointed cabinet of PNU / Kibaki be dissolved before a new and “fresh” cabinet is put in place. PNU / Kibaki has already forgotten why and how we got here. The power monger greedy hardliners seem to think that this is just a big game. It is not.

I must say that I will be definitely disappointed if ODM / Raila caves in to the pressure of these self-centered and self-serving PNU / Kibaki “don’t get it” bunch of frauds.

Please ODM / Raila do it for the people of Kenya. The suffering that was inflicted on the good people of Kenya and the blood that was shed must be kept in view at all times. The people want a lean but effective cabinet. However, since PNU / Kibaki seems to have something under their sleeves, please fight for equitable ministerial distribution between PNU / Kibaki so that Kenya will experience real change for once.

Let me also interject my stand on another point. I have a feeling that most people want to see a regional representation in the cabinet. Why is that so? Is not this the reason why we had trouble with the 2007 elections in the first place? Regionism, Tribalism, Clanism, Villagism, Familism are the core ills in our society. Why does it matter if a Kikuyu is the minister of education for example? Is the minister not supposed to serve the interests of his/her constituency as the MP from such and equitably serve the country as the Minister for education? Is the minister not supposed to work while looking at the BIG (Kenya) picture in terms of schools, quality of education, distribution of teachers, etc by looking at the needs of the country as a whole?

If Kenya has to move forward as a progressive nation we must work to encourage diversity and stand up against those in positions of power hogging whatever they get their hands on to their home constituencies and most frequently to their families while the rest of the country is marginalized.

Kenyans must hold these ministers accountable. Ministries are for Kenyans and not for constituencies. Think about it. Roads and works, Health, Finance, Internal Security, Constitution, Provincial Administration, Education, Local Government, ETC are there to serve the Mwananchi as a whole.

Before you conclude that I am conflicting myself, take time to digest my views. It is double-edged.

Please God have mercy on Kenya.

“A person who has even a speck of Jesus’ fire burning within will set the local Church membership also burning with the fire of Christ. A Church that has a fire burning within will set a Jesus inferno in the neighborhood. And a community that is on fire will set the city on fire. The whole country goes a blaze following this chain of events. By convection and radiation and conduction and induction and fusion and infusion, the heat love of God will be transmitted from medium to medium”. Quote by Keen Nyamwange.
