True to his character of leading by example and from in front, President Kibaki has moved ahead of noisy Kenyans and directed Orengo to clear the confusion arising from Kimunya’s MISSPEAKING that the GR Hotel was actually bought by indigenous and industrious Kenyans who had the presence of mind to invest heavily their hard-earned capital locally. Kenyans must therefore disregard the press and Camera footage that MISQUOTED Kimunya as stating that the deal was not between the Government of Kenya and the Libyan Government.
There are only 9 unique digits and numbers are known to tell plenty of lies. So Kenyans must stop this madness and obsession with Ksh 2.9. Through prompt actions, Kibaki is urging Kenyans to see the forest and avoid the detraction from thorny trees as propagated by enemies of development. The president of actions and few words is indirectly telling Kenyans through his Minister Orengo that Ksh. 2.9b and Ksh. 1.85b are nothing but clever permutation of numbers between 0-9 nothing more. Moreover, the difference is statistically INSIGNIFICANT when rounded off to the nearest 10. The registrar at Lands office (Mr Mulee) is neither stupid nor can he BETRAY and misuse his office to change figures arbitrarily from Sh2.5 billion to Sh1.85 billion. Orengo must stop splitting hairs.
True leadership as practiced by Kibaki is evident in contracting his own Minister’s law firm to keep government secrets and business safe. You cannot fail to notice the President’s insight in directing Wetangula-Adan-Makokha law firm to act for both Central Bank of Kenya and the Libya Arab African Investment Company Kenya Limited. That is massive cost cutting if you ask me and promoting local talent plus showing trust of business to your lieutenants. Otherwise the red tape of allowing AG Wako to act on behalf of the CBK/Government) would amount to driving private firms out of business.
Populist bridesmaid
While our hard working president is busy meeting brother Leader Muamar Gaddafi on the sidelines of AU summit for further investment, some pea-brained MPs are busy disrupting peace in seeking permit to protest about things they cannot comprehend. Demonstrate on what for what against whom? Well our police have shown their capability to guard grass for weeks on end and the DOMO MPs are well taken care of. And by the way why would they strive to lock the kraal when the horse bolted long time ago? The brainy CBK Governor Prof Ndungu witnessed and finalized the transfer of GR almost two weeks ago on June 20. By the time the loud-mouthed MPs would be demonstrating, the new owners would be almost 24 hours old in their job after the OFFICIAL takeover last midnight.

Kenyans interested in development must all rally behind President Kibaki who is sparing no effort to make a clean sweep of what was left from Moi’s ruinous 24 years. All the hot air about PAC grilling and cabinet sub-committee is an attempt by a bridesmaid to have a piece of action during the real maid’s big occasion. The pecking order is clear and juinior ministers like Orengo will soon be disabused of his activist mindset before he mellows with responsibility. Kazi iendelee.
