Thats good for us.
The Naikunis, JMwangis., etc will be the ministers to run public affairs with a business sense, free of constituents issues to worry about as is the case with the Mp ministers.
It's Kudos for me

@Niando,
It is said checks will come from parliament,judiciary and regional governments.Don't ask how since i haven't seen the fine print.

Presidential sysem has failed us since independence, a parliamentary system where the PM is elected directly by the people would have worked better.Both PM and President elected by the people.

This would have created a win-win situation and helped us avoid the 2007 scenario.

You mean we can count on the rogue judiciary/parliament to check an imperial president after 2012?

My initial reservations to the PSC draft would be a NO.The outcomes seems too selfish and shortsighted.

What we have had all this while was not a pure presidential system but a mixture of both presidential and Parliamentary, albeit in 60/40 ratio.
May be thats where the rain begun beating us as the mongrel was only good at barking but no canines.

ALL appointments by the president will be vetted by parliament.What i cant fathom is another 100 mps,what for?.On the other hand let us see how many pretenders to the presidency will be left standing.
