In the latest leaked US cables, Kenya's Prime Minister is described by Sally Kosgei the former Head of Public Service and Secretary to the Cabinet Dr. Sally Kosgei, as one who "truly wants to achieve the reform agenda but does not have the organizational discipline to do so. Raila has no office structure, no discipline in his life or schedule"

I note a sad trend in statements concerning RAO...Do you also believe Raila 'lacks discipline in personal life and organisation'?

(C)Regarding the Prime Minister, Kosgei believes that
Odinga truly wants to achieve the reform agenda but does not
have the organizational discipline to do so. &Raila has no
office structure, no discipline in his life or schedule,8
Kosgei commented, and quoted former advisor Salim Lone as
observing that Odinga has made it this far in politics by the
force of his personality without having to demonstrate
managerial acumen. Though Odinga,s advisors are well
intentioned, most don,t have government experience and he
tends to surround himself with fellow ethnic Luos, Kosgei
observed. Odinga is unwilling to sack corrupt deputies, and
is overly focused on protocol issues and ODM inclusion in
appointment decisions such that it distracts his attention
from the broader reform agenda. Though Kosgei and other
ministers have access to Odinga, he often agrees to meet late
at night when he is tired and unfocused. Close advisors to
Odinga include the ODM whip Jakowo Midiwo, Agriculture
Minister William Ruto, several members of Odinga,s extended
family, and his wife Ida.
