Kenya's 'First Half Cabinet' Named

As predicted by Kumekucha a few days ago, Kibaki's part cabinet is named and our predictions are spot on.

This afternoon 'President' Mwai Kibaki made a live broadcast address to the nation:

" I am pleased to announce part of my Cabinet. In forming the Cabinet, I have considered the importance of keeping the country united, peaceful and prosperous under a strong, broad-based leadership. I am accordingly, naming the first half of my Cabinet as follows:"

(1) Vice President and Minister for Home Affairs - Hon. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka,
(2) Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security, Office of the President- Hon. Professor George Saitoti
(3) Minister of State for Defence, Office of the President - Hon. Yussuf Mohamed Haji
(4) Minister of State for Special Programmes, Office of the President - Hon. Dr. Naomi Namsi Shaban,
5) Minister for Public Service, Office of the President -Hon. Asman Abongotum Kamama,
6) Minister for Finance - Hon. Amos Muhinga Kimunya
(7) Minister for Education - Hon. Professor Sam Ongeri
(8)Minister for Foreign Affairs - Hon. Moses Wetangula
9) Minister for Local Government - Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta
(10) Minister for Information and Communications - Hon. Samuel Lesuron Poghisio
(11) Minister for Water and Irrigation - Hon. John Munyes
(12) Minister for Energy - Hon. Kiraitu Murungi
(13) Minister for Roads and Public Works - Hon. John Njoroge Michuki, MP
(14) Minister for Science and Technology - Hon. Noah M. Wekesa
(15) Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs - Hon. Martha Karua
(16) Minister for East African Community - Hon. Dr. Wilfred Machage
(17) Minister for Transport - Hon. Chirau Ali Mwakwere

In brief, the president is telling ODM, President Kuffour, Gordon Brown, Desmond Tutu and Madam Fraser and all 4.5 million Kenyans who voted against him - YOU CAN GO TO HELL, I AM PRESIDENT.

Even as ODM shows goodwill by suspending protest rallies, the president is throwing mud at them by recalling parliament and naming his cabinet. The questions is: Is there need to continue negotiating with an individual who has shown over the last five years that he cannot honour agreement??

Analysis and comments to follow.

  1. At the end of the day, when we are done insulting people and their languages as well as the ethnic groups; WE HAVE ONLY ONE KENYA.

    The 2007 election highlighted flaws in our democratic process that need to be corrected for the welfare and long-term peace of our beloved nation.

  2. This can not be corrected in paper, it needs a serious fight involving all parts of the country, all sectors, police, soldiers, ordinary folks and even Drs. and nurses should be giving good doses to keep the evil ones to rest. But some stupid fools are commenting as if they are in a country of kikuyus! Oh God, why had we to fall in the same country with these devils(kyuks)? Arms for arms and pangas for pangas and soldiers and police to face their oponents using the state tools, TILL THE LAST MAN STANDING BECOMES THE PRESIDENT OF HIMSELF. And they will live to tell the staories, ie if more than one person remains standing.

  5. True lets use less harmfull words, but for SURE we are going to war. Faizer and Kufour should get out fast for the showdown to start, I think it is necessary for respect to prevail after. SERIOUS war, carry your "tools" with you, you might need it in emergency cases. Hope you understand these tools. May the war take less than a year! Amen.

  6. Guys we have read good predictions in the past but we were more interested in the tribal hate speeches. Turns out some of the writers here, had an underlined message for the "common mwanainchi".

  7. we are slowly but surely reforming KANU in bits and pieces for Uhuru 2012. Just Watch!

  8. It is a pity that while some scholars in the U.S. are attacking the New York Times for discussing Kenya using words such as "tribe" instead of "ethnic group", and so on. We as Kenyans continue to use the term "tribe" with all its loaded colonial connotations.

  9. Why waste time on dialogue while Kibaki is trying so hard to prove he is in power legitimately? Kalonzo is just another shameless politician.
    Sanctions from the International community and pressure from the opposition and civil society is a must.

  10. Whichever the better term to describe these kukus, sorry kukuyu aka kikuyu, they should be wipped out once and for good.

  11. In Koigi Wa Wamwere's book 'I refuse to die' he quotes the late JM Kariuki as calling Mwai Kibaki "kimundu" (an amorphous and useless person) and further called him a coward with a good mind but weak heart. I now seriously doubt the good mind accolade. His senility is hurting the nation. Also growing up in Nyeri a common sobriquet for Kibaki was "General Kiguoya" - General Coward.

    For the idiot that said he forgot we "are the same obama is my cousin types" please save infantile and pre-pubescent snide remarks for your pillow.

  12. Can someone tell me what is to happen next;

    Raila prime minister?

    Why was Raphael TUju dropped?

    For how long is Kibaki on the vp seat because Uhuru was promised the seat as well?

    What is Kibaki team likely to say in the peace meeting in the presence of ODM team?

  13. They will say that they rigged and they are in power, so the rest can go to hell with the international community. SO THE ANSWER IS TO GET THE MACHETES AND THE OTHER GOOD ONES MACH TO FIGHT IT OUT, MIGHT TAKE ONE YEAR THEN NORMALTY WILL COME BACK TO THE(CHICKENS) BRAINS IN STATEHOUSE.

  14. Check out the article 'Kenya's Real Problem (It's Not Ethnic)' in the Washington Post (Wednesday, January 9, 2008; Page A15) - by M. Steven Fish and Matthew Kroenig (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/08/AR2008010803541.html)

    The scholars seem to think that our problem is a week parliament. Indeed if Kalonzo the turn-coat and his party must be in government, then we shall continue to have a weak parliament.

  20. Mwai Emilio Stanley Kibaki,

    Could you please smell the kahawa(coffee)?

    I was puzzled by your announcement of the first half of the cabinet yesterday. I was not suprised, as to date your behaviour has been consistent.

    Do you have any idea how your actions are being interpreted some Kenyan people?

    I interpreted your announcement yesterday, as total disregard for the Kenyan people. I was of the understanding that you were prepared for peace talks on Friday. Your announcement yesterday has spoilt the reconciliation bid.

    I have a problem with your mantra kazi iendelea(work must go on). Most Kenyans have been traumatised, and I feel that your announcement yesterday, demonstrates to me that you do not give a monkey's about the Kenyan people.

    Do you not realise that in your role as president, you are required to put your own needs aside, and the needs of the national interest first?

    Mwai Kibaki, I am sorry to tell you, this is not all about you. You have a duty of care to the Kenyan people.

    I understand that the honour of your whole family may depend on you staying in power. However, I feel that line of thinking is now out of date. The lives of the Kenyan people are at stake. I have heard that you are only concerned about your own people. Whether oaths were taken in Mt Kenya or not is irrelevant.

    Are you aware of how many Kikuyu people have died in the past week?

    These people are innocent victims, who have had these atrocities inflicted on them, because you decide that you cannot and will not leave state house.

    I feel that you are attempting to block out part of what the Kenyan people are saying in the hope that things will be alright.

    Could you please tell me what your understanding of alright is?

    My feeling is that the Kenyan people are feeling betrayed and robbed, and have great difficulty trusting you. I believe your role is to win back the trust of your voters. By standing defiant you have no way of achieving this, in my view.

    I acknowledge that you are in charge right now, and have chosen to rule Kenya by any means necessary. However, I feel that it is not useful to impose a knee- jerk set of rules, with the state that our country is in. I appreciate that this may be the Kibaki way of doing things, but I believe that it is detrimental for the Kenyan people. The past week illustrates the results of your actions.

    Please take a few minutes to look at the powerful images on Joseph Karoki's blog, which tell the story.

    I believe that you need to ask yourself whether you are able to have a collaborative relationship with the Kenyan people?

    My understanding is that collaborative relationships are characterised by commitment, and cooperation.

    Are your intentions to continue to rape the Kenyan people in order to maintain power?

    Some Kenyan people are feeling psychologically, and physically traumatised by the events of last week.

    Judith Lewis Herman says that

    in rape, the purpose of the attack is precisely to demonstrate contempt for the victim's autonomy and dignity.

    A negative response to people who have been raped compounds the damage, and aggravates the traumatic syndrome.

    I believe the riots and killings in Kenya in the past week, are the only way that some people can express their humiliated rage.

    I feel it is essential that you acknowledge the reality of the Kenyan people, and take steps to change it, by taking action to foster recovery.

    Can you stop causing more harm to the Kenyan people?

    I ask that you reflect on whether you posess these qualities that are essential for leadership honesty, integrity, sincerity, respect, competence, and fairness.

    Mwai Emilio Stanley Kibaki, in your role as president, (rigged), you have a duty of care to the Kenyan people.
