Uhuru's cabinet nominees
His Excellency, President Uhuru Kenyatta has nominated his
cabinet and it has seen inclusion of the women so as to achieve the two third
gender rule. It is however important to note that the disabled and the youths
have not been represented in the cabinet. He has however taken care of the
provinces in his cabinet nominations as follows:
Nyanza : 2
Western : 2
Rift Valley :4
Eastern :3
North Eastern:2
Central : 3
Coast : 1
However, the Coast province have not been pleased by the
nomination of Hon Balala to the post of Mining. The Turkana Community has also
expressed their disbelief as the president had promised them a cabinet post but
have not been awarded any.
The message by the Deputy president on 24th that
the cabinet would only have experts except for two politicians who are the
President and him has however not been fulfilled as Charity Ngilu and Najib
Balala has been brought on board.
The nomination of
Francis Kimemia to retain his seat of the head of Civil Service has however
been seen as a pay-back method. The latter who supported the presidency of
Uhuru inspite being a government official has been nominated as a sighn of the
pay back for the great work and support to the Uhuru Presidency.
