Good point. How did Raila's sister get a Job in KR?

The chairperson of the Board of Trustees of the Kenya Railways Staff Retirement Benefits Scheme is set to appear in court to answer charges of unlawful acquisition of public property.

Beryl Okumu Odinga failed to appear in court alongside three others charged with abuse of office and wilful failure to comply with the law.

Senior principle magistrate Lucy Nyambura issued the summons Tuesday following a request from state counsel Daniel Karori after Ms Odinga, who is Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s sister, failed to present herself to court.

We need to expose Kibaki also. Has he got sisters and brothers in high office, like the chairperson of NCBK.

@ Taz nothing strange ...think if you were in the shoes of Rao or Baks, would you leave your kin at to fend for themselves ?

Put in another way...when you were a prefect some 30 years ago, did'nt you favour your siblings in school?

Or, you are a HOD where u r employed and are looking for graduate trainees, would'nt you push for your niece to get through ?

What am driving at is that all this favorism / nepotism / cronyism / tribalism /clanism and other bad 'isms' are inborn or learnt.

Those who have widely travelled in google like me;
sample this

when political elitism and favoritism starts rotting from the head and the head falls off, that would be a good start. even a patriotic transplant would not help, the numbers are too many.

"In presidential politics, the victor always gets the spoils, and chief among them is the vast warren of offices that make up the federal bureaucracy. Historically, the U.S. public has never paid much attention to the people the President chooses to sit behind those thousands of desks. A benign cronyism is more or less presumed, with old friends and big donors getting comfortable positions and impressive titles, and with few real consequences for the nation".



And that is where you miss the point by comparing Kenya and US political establishments.

In US, the party is already established and the machinery that appoints one of their own to run for high office still run the show. In other words, the Democrats are not about Obama. The Democrats are an institution by themselves and play a key part in having the right ppl in the right places to support their candidate before and after elections and ensure the government implements its promises and takes the country to the next level as democrats would want to be in power for continues 20 yrs or more (Very practical as they become the darling of the masses). So, you see, its not about the President choosing his men, its about Democrats making up the government and protecting their reputation, failure to which Republicans gain favour ang get elected. So, you cannot screw up such a case by electing your Sister through the rear end into high office while she has nothing to show except sticky fingers and thieving tendencies.

Come to Kenya.

Raila has every other sister, brother, son inlaw, brother in law and anything called relative into the governmnent as either ambassador, chairman, head, driver and everything else in between. Most do not have the qualification for the Job dished out and their thieving tendencies outpace their diligence.

That is why I wonder what ails Kibaki because I heard his brother died a poor man, sijui his sister in law is still a small time farmer, another brother still takes his milk to the market on a bicycle etc. And someone still thinks Kibaki is a tribalist. Cronyism yes, but nepotism, no.

....and these are???

@jah man... wewe unajua, hapana jifanya mchinga

on other matters.... umelipwa ndugu? hebu sambasa fombe ya kesho. m-mbeca yangu bado inafanya kazi. mimi nita revenge baadaye.


na mimi sijasema tribalism ya kibaki ni mzuri kulio ya raila... nimetofautisha tuu!

RAO installed John Badi as National Assembly Minority leader much to the chargrin of Wiper who were left feeling cheated.
Right now he is pulling machinations to jettisson Wetangula out as the Senate minority leader and in his place install James Orengo;
