I hope we realise that only ONE person has EXECUTIVE authority in Kenya. i.e The President of the Republic of Kenya! Period. The next power level is held by the legislature. Form what I can see, Baks will have appointees 'APPROVED' by Parliament. If they do that, then they take full responsibility.

I implore you to stop looking at this thing through one man you-know-who.
We know that parliament cannot be trusted in anything substantial. If anything, parliament is usually objective immediately after being sworn in, then the enthusiasm wanes and members retreat to their comfortable enclaves e.g. after falling out with other members etc you know the script.
There are a few good members who live up to their professional ethics and from what we have seen they have all the intentions of delivering a better governed Kenya. But they are often overwhelmed. Case in point, its only Martha Karua and Mutula Kilonzo whose voices were heard against parliaments move to withdraw Kenya from ICC just to protect 3 out of some 6 men.
But the other members....they dont use their professional training for the country but to get only what they want and so on. They go to the highest bidder especially towards elections. Isnt that why we did not want a parliamentary system?
The president should have guided parliament by giving parliament the correct things to chew, as it were.
