What should be the way forward? Do we eat the humble pie and amend the constitution to whittle down the high number of government institutions by amending the constitution? As it is, things are only going to get worse.
Tinga, nusu mkeka.
that's when all these machida's started. remember the ministries growing by double? to massage some ego? equal partner b/s?
@Harry, there was a day Uhuru was campaigning and he said that we should stop looking at the rear mirror all the time otherwise we might cause an accident. This was in reply to people who kept saying we should vote RAO because he had done a lot in the past. He insisted the best thing we need to talk about is progress. And Ruto used to punctuate his every sentence with 'taking this country forward' Forward is not in the past, Nope.
Now using their analogy, we wont solve this country's problems by always looking back at who caused the problems we are going through.
Every time a Jubilee politician defends a current problem with 'It was caused by RAO' or 'even RAO/Kalonzo/Weta or whoever did not fix it when he was in govt' I feel mad. Why? The reason that they did fix it is the whole point that they were not voted. The whole point was they get in and fix the issues.
Its almost three years now. Looking behind the rear mirror every time a problem is pointed out will cause a serious and/fatal accident to the country.
I am more interested in listening and interrogating how the govt is doing to solve the issues than who caused the problems. I always pay attention and highlight those that makes sense to me.
I cant remember who said that "You haven't failed until you find someone to blame" That is my point. The duo need to highlight more on what is being done and cut us the slack on what RAO did not do. That's why we did not vote him in the first place; because he did not do, or we thought he cant do, what we expect them to do.
