Comments on: The Saga at The NSSF http://www.kenyanentrepreneur.com/the-saga-at-the-nssf "A black market is a free market operating against the wishes of the state." –Harry Browne.

Unfortunately, the Kenyan media only knows how to play along with these games. A few days from now, the NSSF story will be forgotten as Kenyans are fed on information on the rightness of the minister's decision. Meanwhile, the new boss in conjunction with the minister will be bringing in their cronies to take up non-existent jobs and all to be paid for by Kenyan workers.

Maybe there is something that Raila knows about Anyang Nyong that we don't. Or it could just be Raila trying to keep down his potential competitors. On the other hand, Anyang Nyong has really surprised me by the way he has behaved in that ministry He has basically reappointed people who had previously been fired after they were accused of corruption. One wonders what he gained by doing that. I never ever expected this kind of behaviour from Anyang Nyong. He is a real disappointment. I therefore believe that he deserves to be in that non-ministry! Can you imagine what kind damage he could do in a big ministry like Finance or Internal Security?

No wonder the ministers are following are following his example. He has no moral authority over them.

Its hard to understand how a credible government can conduct itself the way the Kibaki government is doing. Ministers have been left to do whatever they feel like and to hell with the consequences. Very soon, Kenya will become the laughing stock of the world because one or other minister is going to do something extremely daft. Most of the countries around us would never tolerate what our ministers are doing. Even Mugabe's Zimbabwe hasn't stooped this low. Actually, we are in the same league as the Central African Republic where the president appointed his siblings into the cabinet. Or Equatorial Guinea where the government consists of cousins, uncles and siblings. Or maybe better still, Omar Bongo's Gabon, where the national treasury happens to be the president's bank account. Bravo Kenyans for joining this hall of fame!

Ministers are peddling influence thereby discouraging serious investors and causing long term damage to the economy. The following ministers have been accused of hiring people who are close to them and not necessarily qualified to do the job: Charity Ngilu Anyang Nyong Otieno Kajwang John Munyes Mutula Kilonzo Kibaki is a weak president but then - what is Raila the so calld reformer doing? Afterall, Raila is in charge of the ministries.

Its back to business as usual in Kenya. Ministers are peddling influence thereby discouraging serious investors and causing long term damage to the economy.

The following ministers have been accused of hiring people who are close to them and not necessarily qualified to do the job:

Charity Ngilu
Anyang Nyong
Otieno Kajwang

Kibaki is a weak president but then – what is Raila the so calld reformer doing? Afterall, Raila is in charge of the ministries.
