That I have to explain it waters down its thrust!
If you watch over the government and development projects do not get completed, you get kicked out and have to take blame for it.
If you watch over the government to bring development, you get the credit, not those who you hired in the first place to do the Job.
In other words, Mo Ibrahim has a very good reason why he rewards presidents who achieved something for their countries and not the civil servants.
So, credit goes to Kibaki, not KRB, because of his management skills and strategy of ensuring his government delivers what it pledged to do, free education, improved infrastructure, etc
Otherwise, why do we have governments?
If a government does not improve the welfare of its citizen, then, that is a government made in hell.
You kind of got me confused there. When you talk about hiring and government who hires who? Who is the employer?
And if one individual can get the job done and also the accolades, why do we need government?
This Mo Ibrahim thing,............it is a new can of worms. For example, I missed the best performers. I am sure you would elaborate on Kenyas performance on all the indices wont you?
I am not trying to say the president has not done anything useful. But to worship him is another thing altogether. Are we not lampooning such worship in other quarters with such high moral ground? This is why I find it easy being on the other side.
I would have thought praise ought to go to institutions e.g. a government rather than an individual.
Otherwise why would we have governments when one individual can get the job done?
