Head of Civil Service and Secretary to the Cabinet Francis Muthaura has been admitted a door away from ICU. It wouldn’t have come at a worse time when Kenya is in dire traits and chronic need of Muthaura’s able hands. Almost 70 years old and close to five decades in government, very few Kenyans can match ambassador Muthaura's experience.
The need for REFORMS can only be shepherded by Muthaura’s tried hands. He knows the government inside out. What is more, he has the boss’ ears. Many neophytes in the GCG may hate him for his fidelity to protocol. But serikali is no civil society and none of these activists can hold a candle to the veteran ambassador.
Our sensational newspapers must spare PS Muthaura more headache. Whether he was hospitalized last month or yesterday morning is immaterial. These alarmist reporters fail to understand the enormity of the national burden Muthaura shoulders on our behalf. They even shamelessly fail to glimpse the gravity of the mater when police boss spends five hours at the hospital hosting Muthaura.
10 years work, no leave
You see Major Ali needs alloyed guidance to stop thugs in Juja from petrol-bombing houses when owners refuse to open their doors to allow unhindered looting. Add that to the explosive Mungiki-vigilante executions and you have to sympathize with Muthaura's predicament in this sick status.
The press must learn to respect top government officials who discharge their duties under great pressure. You fail to understand why they doubt Dr Mutua’’s official statement that Muthaura BOOKED himself in hospital on Sunday. He must know better.
What more can unforgiving and unappreciative populace ask for besides a 70-year old working for more than 10 years without leave. After offloading our collective national stress on Mzee Muthaura he is now smarting from chemical imbalance in his body. True, rewards from an ungrateful donkey are fatal kicks.
You are a low-life when you right such a story. You are the same person who once cliamed here that Mwai Kibaki was on the brink of departure to his maker. A pity.
ReplyDeleteTaabu you are my hero!
ReplyDeleteKenya would be a great country without Muthaura.
ReplyDeleteMay the almighty take him away as fast as possible.
Good riddance.
Hey it is about time he left his office.. Muthurua is a snake, a murderer, that kenyans don't need to remember . good riddance!!!!
ReplyDeleteKenyans please raise your hands anyone who wants Muthurua back in office??
O%
there is your answer!!Alfred Mutua should join him there.. hell is where both belong!!
Like fat in the artery , muthaura is the very impediment of development and change in our country he is the face of antireform .How many kenyans have died under orders that came from his very mouth to the feared AP death squad?
ReplyDeleteWacha afe. Ibilisi mavi ya kuku yeye
ReplyDeleteTaabu,

ODM's hate driven swine. The only ididots who throw a party when someone falls ill.

Have you forgotten not too long ago PNU mandarins claiming God was out on a revenge mission on behalf of PNU and taking out ODM leaders
Leta ingine
it is only in kenya where people want to work as if it is marriage- till death does us part.
ReplyDeleteWhen we wanted Muthaura to retire it was because of our concern over his age, and thus his health particularly if he overworks himself.
ReplyDeleteHowever some thick headed politician thought that the reason we went this way was because we wanted to put "our man" to head the lucrative post. We could not have any problem if Kibaki instead appointed Alfred Mutua or Atwoli to head that post.
Now you can all see why we wanted him to retire and even give him a send off package to go and sand bath in Lake Victoria, and spend several nights at Sunset Beach Hotel in Kisumu City, and allow Orwa Ojode to take him round to several tourist sites in Nyanza and Western Province - I'm sure he'll like watching bull fighting in Vihiga and "crying stone" in Sigalagala.
It is the same reason we also want Kibaki to retire and allow him to go and spend several nights at Sirikwa Hotel in Eldoret, and have all the time to play golf there with the likes of Ruto and Biwott.
Now can't you see why we want the two OUT!? It is out of concern for their health and not politics.
Some comments here are out-right gross and sickening right to the back tooth. Just what sort of people kick a man who is already down? You would have thought Muthaura conned peasants millions of shillings to buy some Molasses Plant!
ReplyDeleteMuthaura gave his first candid interview to Jeff Koinange on K24 and he came out quite convincing and human after all. He just plays hard-ball politics and is very loyal to Kibaki who appointed him.
If you became president, he's the sort of a political ally you would want next to you, someone who doesn't take hostages (just "kills") happens to play tight defense and occasionally unleashes an iron fist.
He is what Anyang' Nyong'o is to Raila or David Axelrod to Obama, period. And since he's a hatchet man politically, Kibaki "begged" him to stay on after the elections-according to his interview- despite him wanting to retire peacefully in Meru.
I don't know Muthaura personally, have never met him and don't wish to but I really wish him a speedy recovery!
There goes vintage Taabu, the master of satire and irony. And this is not the first time he is doing it. I am very sure after he pressed the "send" key, there was a wry smile on his face, satisfaction in his head and a feel-good aura in his room. He now waits for the poison to take effect as he watches his victim grimace in pain and looking for empathy. Replace every positive word he has written with its exact negative and every negative word with its exact positive and you will get what he REALLY means. Hey, Taabu, have you no sympathy, empathy and patriotism?

Dr Alfred "bumbling" Mutua explained the Muthaura situation thus:
ReplyDelete"Head of Public Service and Secretary to the Cabinet Ambassador Francis Muthaura checked himself into Nairobi Hospital yesterday (Sunday) for a medical checkup."
He went on: "Ambassador Muthaura, who has been of great health and (has) not received any major medical treatment for tens of years was not feeling very well over the weekend and visited Nairobi Hospital for a major routine physical check-up on Sunday June 28, 2009…He is doing well, in good spirits and expects to be out of hospital soon."
The statement was however silent on why Muthaura was taken to HDU if he was in for check-up. It was not clear why he insisted he was admitted to the hospital on Sunday when our inquiries revealed he arrived at the hospital at 9am on Monday.
Sources in security circles revealed they were asked to put the hospital under surveillance at 10am, an hour after he checked in.
On Monday (June 29th) morning one of his aides was reported to have said the PS appeared frail and complained he was unwell. That is when it was decided he be taken to hospital.
Dr Alfred "bumbling" Mutua attributed Muthaura’s illness to his having worked for 10 years without going on leave.
ReplyDeleteThere is a very "good reason" why these dinosaurs do not go on leave ....... Jijazie.
Is 18 months not enough time to vent? When will the hatred and negativity displayed in the comments and some posts (eg Sam Okello) end?
ReplyDeleteBeth Mugo is my kind of woman.
ReplyDeleteHope he gets better soon. At the end of the day it seems like he may have had a mild stroke or heart attack, hence the one of the officials saying that he had chest pains.
ReplyDeleteObviously many of us are not docs but we know HDU is for emergency, but the patient is probably stable at that point.
Anon 2:11 AM,
ReplyDeleteYou asked-
"Is 18 months not enough time to vent? When will the hatred and negativity displayed in the comments and some posts (eg Sam Okello) end?"
Sorry to disappoint you Anon 2:11 AM, it has never ended because the situation that caused it has not been resolved. These are some of the "fruits" of a STOLEN election (of Dec '07) and historical injustices since 1963 that have sowed "seeds" that are now begining to "mature."
The election STEALING by Mwai "pumbavu" Kibaki was just the beginning. As long as the pumbavu status quo prevails, more troubles and violent explosions lie ahead.
What am I telling you Anon 2:11 AM? Buckle up, its going to last more than these 18 months you are complaining about.
Just heard on Radio (1pm news bulletin) that Muthaura has been transferred from the high Dependancy Unit to the Intensive Care Unit.
ReplyDeleteHaters,
ReplyDeleteEven if Muthaura were to pass on today you would not inherit his wife because he does not belong to your primitive cultures.
Taabu thinks Muthaura's death would double sufurias of ugali without a sweat. Whether you rant or wail, you must wake up and work hard. Hakuna za bure.
ReplyDeleteAnon 3.05 am, ok we've heard your complaints about election malpractice, but it does not solve the problem, always venting. How long can we possibly vent for? You are supposed to look for a window of opportunity when the door shuts, so people should start looking for other avenues of addressing the issue.
ReplyDeleteAnon 3:29 AM,
ReplyDeleteWewe ni pumbavu sana!
Unasema ati:
"you must wake up and work hard. Hakuna za bure."
Kwani is looting national coffers, stealing elections, theft and corruption working hard? PUMBAFF! Hizo ni kazi za WIZI.
Ati hakuna kazi za bure. What you poeple do under the pumbavu leadership of Mwai "pumbavu" Kibaki (the election thief like his soul mate Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe) is worse than what you see a beggar doing - at least he asks, he does not STEAL and LOOT like you people.
Ati hakuna kazi za bure? Go stuff your panua inspired ideas of "industriousness," "enterprise" and "hard work" up that place between your buttocks where the sun never shines.
I await this evil man Muthaura in the hot and burning embers fires of Hell.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Muthaura.
Did the riches you stole from innocent and poor Kenyans save you from my home? Ati you have wordly riches eh?
Welcome to Hell Muthaura.
Next I await your thieving boss Mwai Kibaki. The fires are getting hotter.
