Its not forgotten that a certain Snr O in the police force did NOT act in Lamu-Mpeketoni. #myhelmetison# Love is beautiful and so are those who share it.With Love, Marriage is an amazing event in ones life time, the foundation of joy, happiness and success.

You hit the nail on the head.The successor has to be Jarabuon at all costs!!!!!! Otieno was the youngest of all the generals and had been at his post for the shortest period of time, enyewe jina zingine ni burden!!!!! The Army Commander Lieutenant General Joseph Kiptoo Kasaon is younger than him. Why was @Otieno retired when he was among the youngest Generals?  Maybe he chose retirement, maybe he messed up somewhere, who knows? We can speculate all day and get nowhere. Anyway, in military the practice world over is the presidents appoint people they can trust and rely on. Bottom line, let's hope we'll see safer days ahead.
BBI will solve it :)

I thought you know the answer well, to enable Nganga to take over as Otieno is a Luo and this is KK alliance govt. On matters security, if I was president I would appoint people I trust to head the institutions – Period!!!!The man who marries a beautiful woman, and the farmer who grows corn by the roadside have the same problem

Maybe the only headline that remains is that Raila retires, he has been replaced by Njoroge!!!!! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

"Under the internal administrative rules popularly known as Tonje Rule, Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) retires at 62 years while lieutenant-generals and major-generals retire at the age of 58 and 56 respectively if they are not promoted to the next rank." Otieno was 58 yrs Old, it was either retirement or he becomes CDF!

Of cause the Tonje rules are applied when it makes sense to the establishment and Otieno is not yet 58!!!! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

Strict application of Tonje rules would have meant that we don't keep recycling Karangi so that the lower ranks suffer!!! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

Muache ujinga! Omamo retired Otieno, freedom just endorsed. And those promotions seem fairly balanced! Quote:There were also new commanders for the Eastern and Western commands in the major changes effected by the Defence Council, which is chaired by Defence Cabinet Secretary Raychelle Omamo and endorsed by President Uhuru Kenyatta, according to an announcement from Department of Defence headquarters. i.am.back!!!!

Why the blame game. Mr Otieno was in that meeting that made that decision. May be he opted to retire voluntarily to pursue personal interest or (interest of the party!!)
Let us not be too quick to judge. Has Mr Otieno complained? Why are we speaking on his behalf and by the way Mr Otieno belongs to the tribe called Kenya and so is Mr. Ng'ang'a.
As Babu once put it when asked why he had appointed all his relatives, just because you come from the tribe of the holder of the house on the hill or the PM in no way should your right to be appointed be withheld.
As a kenyan, I wish Mr Otieno well in his future endeavors.
