Appointing professionals who are non-politicians to the cabinet was supposed to rid the system of incompetent people. Unfortunately the CS who have been appointed are either incompetent or corrupt. There are remedies that are possible: 1. Hire every CS on a performance contract 2. Monthly financial audits of each ministry 3. Wealth audits for every CS As an example, the CS for tourism should be paid based on the number of tourists who visit. The CS for finance should be paid based on measures like inflation rate. This will ensure that only competent people accept these positions. Hiring politicians like Balala and Wamalwa is a lousy idea. Hiring illiterate people like Achesa is even worse. They don't care because they get paid big money whether they are competent or not and they can siphon funds into their own bank account.

@murchr Your argument in support of politicians is bogus. Yes Balala is one exception. But how well have the other politicians done? Lets take Achesa for example. Explain to us how hiring a politician like Achesa instead of a competent person is a good idea.

I dont know who fronted him. I know he was an OODM youth leader who later switched to Jubilee and was rewarded. Whom to blame? None other than the president. Why hire a primary school dropout for such a serious position?
