During your campaigns in 2002. You told us to evaluate you on the following areas
1. education
2. Infrastructure
3. New Constitution
4. Opening up of democratic space.
5. To tame run away corruption.
6. Economic growth

In all the above areas, you have performed well sometimes under difficult circumstances. If you read wazua, know that we are very grateful. During those university days you inspired many to study Economics and to play golf. You are still a role model and a hero to many. After retirement you can have one on me at Kirinyaga Tavern.
! Once again Thank you Sir

I second your opinion but I think for point number 5 above there is plenty of room for improvement.

Forgive me for not leaping with joy, but aren't we thanking him for doing what he is supposed to do anyway! Because that’s the mandate we gave him,huh? Maybe we are just relieved the old man kept his promise esp since his predecessor and peers werre of a different mould.

Corruption, it’s not him to get rid of it but all of us! We keep lambasting Mpigs for corruption but it is sisi, the professionals who:
- issue certificates of completion to contractors saying a road has been properly tarmacked when in actual fact it is still a cattle track,
- facilitate theft of relief food; like the way cash meant for
developing ASAL was stolen,
- participate in stealing FPE funds,
- certify buildings habitable only for them to collapse,
- buy spare parts cheaply, knowing they must have been stolen from one of us kwa jam fulani,
- buy a ka plot with issues then bribe wasee wa lands to issue a title deed
- help steal drugs and medical supplies from govt hosis.

True, Obako as the nation's Chief Executive Officer can set the anti-corruption tone like he did at the beginning of his reign but we have to inculcate a culture of respecting public property is us ama ata fail. Because where we are now, kuiba pesa na mali ya umma imekuwa ni kama utamaduni kwetu wakenya....

Hata wewe ukikuwa MPig leo you will inflate fuel invoices kesho, in between scheming how to evade paying taxes - wanna take that to the bank?

But for inflation, weak Ksh, lack of or inchorent agriculture policy, I'd give him a B on the economy.
F (fail) for political leadership and
U (unscored) for Katiba Mpya because implementation is the key otherwise its just a piece of paper.

I give him a C+ the reason being all that you have enumerated might be comparable to what Ivory coast first president did...now look at it now.

Unless a president unifies the country and direct the populous into a unified goal or vision,He has failed in my opinion.

Let's give the old man credit where its due. Like @'user' says, he inherited a country in tatters. You didnt expect us to be first world right now, did you? Look around you, though much still needs to be done, a lot has also been done as well in our road to recovery.

IMHO, he's the best transitional leader we got. He may be weak politically, but in terms of development, surely, hamjaona maendeleo? The onus is on the next president to take the country towards unity. Everyone has his strengths. For MK, it was development.

And yet again, for a president to unite a country, he needs political goodwill from the politicians. But we can all see the bickering in public arenas.

A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step, and we can all agree, we are miles from where we began in 2002. Let's not be people who are so focused on the negatives to see the good around us (I am not saying we stop talking about it, but let's not focus entirely on negatives). Let's also learn to appreciate and count our blessings and progress.

Toro was there did a lot of mess.

It's OK to congratulate your employee for doing his job well.

yeah, but can't compare with Moi-era thuggery[/quote]
Do you prefer somebody to be smiling when they steal from you?

Precisely, this guy transformed his village into a capital city with world class infrastructure if you look at how that country was run during his time its a replica of kibakis regime only that we are a multiparty.
