The biggest task now is how to dismantle the Provincial Administration and incorpirate it into the County system. I believe to an extent that Districts should still remain but to be run by Deputy Governors (DGs). The DGs will be appointed by a County Council.

Subject: [africa-oped] Constitution Implimentation;Where are we!
We,the People of Kenya, Having voted overwhelmingly for the current supreme law that that was promulgated recently with ecstasy though the party was stolen by one President Barshir,from the foregoing,it appears the implimentation process grew sharp thorns that are hindering the actors. Our actors includes President Kibaki,PM Raila Odinga,the AG,CJ,Cabinet and parliamentarians. This people were the first to swore allegiance to the constitution and believably meant well as they swore for and on our behalf. Two areas seems to be breaking the bones akin to Things Fall Apart Okonkwo in his wrestles with amlinze the cat. 1.The Provincial Administration;- In the wisdom of the Committee of Experts (CoE),they found it necessary to inscribe the in the draft law the term Restructuring upon the views the Kenyans gave.Now instead of embarking on debating bills or making laws in parliament to guide the process,our honourables are on air about disbanding or abolishing the entire structure of the provincial administration - politicians made interesting "civic education"where they heavily quoted the draft law out of context. Some have the bitter feeling of the Moi days forgetting that Moi left the scene long time ago,and if anything,its implementation suitably and nothing else. We need to restructure (apply appropriately) the structure to suit the devolved system.The government can recall for redeployment or even send some home/retrenchment,is it the first time to send people home! Remember some are also retiring and their roles/duties can be syncronized to other departments - how will the office of the president operate without a system at the grassroot level! What happened a few years ago when the dream team of Dr.Leaky,Naikuni and Martin Oduor were in the office !Did the incumbent go to school only to be employed as PCs,DCs,DOs,and chiefs only! 2.Vetting of Judges and Magistrates. This is one of the areas that was meant to be urgent even as Hon.Justice Evan Gicheru heads home.Unfortunately the feet that be are dragging.Word had it that some undesirable wordings were inscribed for printing and non-other than Amos is responsible whether he denies,or proves innocent. The clamor for jobs by the judges and magistrates at the Judiciary Service Commission ( JSC),CJ and AG is causing unnecessary and uncalled for debate.As time lapses,a constitutional crisis becomes inevitable. Now, my dear Kenyans,some times i do not understand ourselves - away from debating a lot which i like most,the timing of some actions derails me and often throws me off balance.We sometimes behave as if we have all just landed from a foreign trip to handle sensitive issues. 3.Political Parties That political party leadership is yet to be applied to the letter is a clear signal of how much political party hold Kenyans.The current holders including the president are yet to shrug off party (PNU) leadership.Raila (ODM),Kalonzo ( ODK-K),kenyatta ( KANU),ETC Safe for the President,the rest are 2012 presidential materials - are they going to use the party positions to ride on our back!I doubt for KANU given my previous misgivings on the Baba na Mama party. To the diaspora brethren,its you make memorandums through KCA,KGU and even Vugu Mugu Movement to be registered shortly to press for the rights of other citizenry such as voting. Given your academic standing ( i believe all of you have been to higher learning institutions, e-readyness and manageable figure each station,can conduct voting at the Embassies/High Commissions offices). The Embassies/High Commission offices needs to be gazetted as polling centers. All said and done,the 5 years implementation period will give us a good beggining for our country. Evans MACHERA. |
