How is this position important to Kenya? How has the outgoing office-holder helped SA? We seem to be spending tons of money lobbying fellow African countries to back the CS. Link

Muthamaki has been out maneuvered. His deputy holds the real power and influence in Kenya. Muthamaki has resulted to trying to show that he is the most powerful African Leader......and this is one way of doing that....That position is just a liability to Kenya......may be to massage some peoples ego's

She is one of the best CS's in Muthamaki's Cabinet. Hard working, no scandal, no drama...and this would be good training for a stab at the Presidency in 2022, ala, Hilary Clinton.

Are you saying that because Ms Zuma turned down a second because many think that she may go for presidency in 2019?

I don't know about Ms Zuma, although there were rumours she was eyeing an important sit in the ANC - which would seem to point to some political ambitions. I am not sure Amina has her eye on politics either, but I believe 2022 will be a toss up and a competent, untainted, female, Muslim, 'not those people' candidate will have a definite advantage.

Then I heard later that Godana was actually a Mkristo!

If Amina can capture the Coast, Eastern and North Eastern blocks and benefit from the self destruction of central, rift valley and western vote blocks, she must might just 'pitia kati yao.' Also don't underestimate the disgust that Kenyans have with the two dynasties that have monopolized politics for most of our independence era. The country is just waiting for a Trump to help them channel that disgust into a revolution. "The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement.

Amina would make a refreshing change if she ever decides to run for President. I doubt if she has the balls for it though. "The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement.
