Those of us who work in business and who have watched the coalition government waste a criminal amount of billions on bodyguards, cooks, assistants and more ministries than there are demons in hell know very well the capacity of 25 commissions to burn public money.

Have you ever wondered why every commission starts its work by going round the country asking Kenyans the same questions they have answered a thousand times?

There are a lot of people who are getting into commissions because in them they see well-paying jobs.

Their argument that they need to be well-compensated because they have left their other work holds no water.

Nobody went to their houses to ask them to serve in these commissions. They volunteered and most probably lobbied. None is irreplaceable.
