I thought they are being appointed to work. For as long as we all think that any position of appointment is about eating and not working we will always have a problem.
Personally however qualified I was kuna kazi zingine siwezi fanya, those presidential appointment jobs are pure balaa. You are usually thrust into an organization that already has people who you are not familiar with. They have their own workplace culture of sloth and backbiting and implementing change is a nightmare.
You cannot choose your team members, you have to work with the ones you find there. You try to bring in people you can work with and allegations of tribalism, nepotism, jubilleeism etc start flying.
