Politicians never change just like leopards never change their spots. The president may now be having deep regrets over rescinding his earlier decision NOT to include politicians in his cabinet. (Actually the latest information I have is that an extremely influential personality very close to him pleaded with him to change his mind. The revealing article is in a recent issue of my Kumekucha's raw notes.)
After the incident a few months ago where we give insider info on how Balala is said to have asked for a bribe from a mining company in exchange for NOT cancelling their license, Ngilu is now at the centre of a major land scandal.
This clearly justifies the policy of never appointing politicians to cabinet slots. You really can never teach old dogs new tricks. Most of the other members of the cabinet are professionals and people eager to retain their reputations and good standing which is critical to enhancing their careers further after their terms in cabinet come to an end as they inevitably will. In sharp contrast politicians in the banana republic don't care and use their positions of influence to make as much money as they can in the shortest time possible.

------Incidentally the adage easy come, easy go comes into play here because former legislator Ferdinand Waititu is said to be very broke and penniless at the moment and is living on handouts. Quite amazing for somebody who earned a million bob a month for 5 years and had access to all kinds of perks and loan facilities to enhance his financial standing. This is excluding the other numerous money making "deals" that are always available in the august house. He is hardly the exception. For instance yet another former legislator is rumoured to be now walking to town all the way from Runda for lack of matatu fare. Supporting the widely held view that in the banana republic once you enter politics and then lose an election you are finished in every sense of the word.
You will be shell shocked to discover the real reason for the recent well publicized spat between Nairobi senator Mike Sonko and embattled Rachel Shebesh. The information is in my latest Weekly Intelligence Briefings.
