Kibaki Cabinet Announcement Delayed As MP Rejects Cabinet Post

President Kibaki has missed the deadline he set for himself in announcing the new cabinet. It is widely believed that a cabinet minister from Kanu whom former President Moi himself had promised to deliver to Kibaki has rejected his appointment to the cabinet. That MP is believed to be the Kanu MP for Tinderet Henry Kosgey.

The new cabinet is expected to be announced in the next few hours.

This is further evidence that MPs are already thinking very hard about 2007 and their re-election bids then. And not Kenyans welfare and problems at the moment.

Kosgey seems to have bowed to the mounting pressure from Rift Valley against the Kibaki government.

MPs seem to have forgotten that a day is a long time in politics and 2007 is a long, long, long way off.
