Let's vote plus give reasons for your vote.

TOMORROW WILL BE BETTER

Here is the catch.............and it's the law,not me.If MPigs vote against forming the committee,they go away for 6 months.The constitution says that if parliament does not convene for 3 consecutive months,it stands dissolved and that would me fresh elections........before i go far,do you believe that will happen?

Guka wa bijuti...

with alot of respect for Raila,I think he is reducing himself to a clerk and greedness.

Ask yourself,

He wants everones job.....read Muthaura,Mutua,Kalonzo now HBC and ex. chairman.

He is a principal in the Grand eating government and he should let Kalonzo do the Job.

Why is president delegating...coz he doesnt want to be fighting over bills in parliament with akina Khalwale

Disclaimer : This is my opinion and not a recommendation.

Methinks Raila is playing PNU and they dont even see it. Think about it,Kenyans from both sides of the divide hate this coalition government and cant wait for the next elections. Now what Raila is doing by demanding all these powerful positions from PNU is first,to highlight the fact that PNU controls the real power in this coalition. And secondly,he knows PNU will loudly fight to keep these positions,but that fits perfectly into Raila's plan,which is to dissociate himself from the failures of this government by reminding people who really controls the government.

Come the next election and it will be easier for Raila to dissociate himself from the failures of the government while the likes of Kalonzo and Uhuru will be successfully depicted as pro status quo who presided over the failures of the coalition. Raila and Karua will sell the pro reform agenda while Uhuru and Kalonzo will be tied to Kiguoya's status quo politics.

So Raila is demanding these positions so that he does not seem as timid,but he is hoping that PNU does not give them up so that he can blame all the ills of the coalition on lack of authority. Now that's realpolitik.

The head of the HBC should be appointed by the government which in our case has two partners,logic demands that they should consult first before the appointment is made!!!!

Pondi,which constitution are you talking about,you forget the days when Moi used to swap them for every parliamentary session!!!!

Make money.....then you will enjoy all the fine things in life!!!

It is the prerogative of the head of state and head of government (read kibaki) to appoint the leader of Govt business.ODM position is not so legally backed but it is whatever they call the 'spirit' of National accord whereas the constitution is very clear any other law that contradicts it the constitution prevails.

Traditionally the president's PRINCIPAL ASSISTANT has always represented his interests in the House and the rotation only came to fore during the fourteen months Mzee decided to run the country alone without a VP.

In a nutshell the position can be negotiated with the BOSS not in the parliament but at State House or Harambee house....

RAO should prevail upon Kibaki to appoint him but cant see that happening ODM will give in since they know it is just a sideshow designed in Naivasha by one Anyang Nyongo.

Peace to all men of Goodwill

mcregae.... kibaki may choose to consult,and i believe he should,but the fact remains,he is president and has the powers to appoint head of HBC without consulting anyone. kwani how come odm never payukas when kibaki makes other appointments .. like the ones benefiting Raila's relatives??

He who laughs last thinks slowest..

Dont you just love SKerians hypocricy? When Raila is being shafted by Kiguoya,PNU supporters here brag how much power Kiguoya has and how useless the accord is and how Kiguoya has constitutuional right to do this and that.

But just wait until the government screws up,then they're so ready to equally pass the blame to the two principles,suddenly the coalition is equal and its the two principles who are failing Kenyans. Please be consistent,you can fool mama mbogas with your BS,but not people here,we can see through your hypocricy.

@TB

'WE'...??.That is very strong but it also says you are a mouth piece....

Yes,I am a mouthpiece for reform,always been,unlike some people who cry reform up until their tribesmate steals the elections. Suddenly its all bravado how they stole the election and are shafting the real winner of the elections. Lakini malipo ni hapa hapa.
