President Uhuru Kenyatta’s cabinet shake-Up,expands state departments
War on Graft has
steadily become more rampant in Kenya today. A good number of Cabinet Secretaries
have been suspended due to corruption allegations, the recent case being the Cabinet
Secretary for Devolution and Planning, Mrs. Anne Waiguru.
Following the Tuesday,
24th 2015 cabinet reshuffle by President Uhuru Kenyatta, five CS were axed and two
MPs nominated. The replaced Cabinet Secretaries were as follows; Mrs. Charity Ngilu (Lands), Engineer
Michael Kamau (Transport), Felix Koskei (Agriculture), Kazungu Kambi (Labour)
and Davies Chirchir (Energy) who were all facing graft charges.
Talking of graft being on the rise in Kenya, Pope Francis who
is much anticipated to be in the country this evening is also expected to touch
on the subject. This however shall come after his speech on climate change
which he is passionate about. This comes after the US presidents tour to Kenya
in July. President Barack Obama also gave a speech on corrupt leadership in
Kenya, therefore making it a real issue to Kenyans and their economic development.
Coming back to the Tuesday reshuffle, among those lined up to
replace them are two sitting MPs. The President last night nominated Kericho
Senator Charles Keter and Malindi MP Dan Kazungu as Energy and Mining Cabinet
Secretaries respectively.
