As days progress, my disappointment on the grand coalition continues to grow. Political expediency has taken a front row seat over functionality of Government.
Finance is a core ministry in govt and I believe political considerations should not be the overriding factor in appointing it's Minister. While I am not certain of Uhuru's training, I believe he did Political Science and hence even though the family has extensive business interests, balance sheets, economic policies, et al are not in his daily menu.
While the core functions in the ministry are run and driven by highly qualified professionals it causes no harm to have the guy who, even though symbolically, is it's head, with more than average understanding of the policies the professionals could be formulating and implementing. That Uhuru takes over preprogrammed to fail is not in doubt. While those on his own political side may have lingering doubts whether he will deliver, the other side must by gleefully rubbing their hands in anticipation of his expected failure and hence impending political crucifixion. And unfortunately all this at our expense.
Like the Cockers Commission verdict on Kimunya, a Minister must be on top of things in his ministry and should not be vindicated when those below him screw up. Commission or Omission both remains sins, pari passu.
