KEY POINTS

Mr. President, do we really need 50 Chief Administrative Secretaries? Just stop thinking like a President for five seconds and feel like a Kenyan; do we really need to have 50 human beings as Chief Administrative Secretaries? Wee olisikia wapi?

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Mr. President, when making the appointments, did you know that, cumulatively, your clueless CASs will be taking home 17 million shillings every month in salaries, translating to more than 1 billion shillings in your first term?

Each of the human beings you appointed is entitled to a one-off mortgage payment of 35 million shillings and a 10 million shillings car grant, adding to 990 million shillings.

Dear Mr. President,

How are you? On Thursday, as you retired to bed at Statehouse with Rachel, did you sleep peacefully and happily after serving the nation and the hustlers who elected you? In particular, did you sleep a proud man after the appointments you made?

Mr. President, 50 Chief Administrative Secretaries? 50 CASs? Really? Come on man! Are you serious or don’t care about what will happen or what people say? We know you had people to reward after “standing with you”, but 50 of them?

You rejected the “infamous” Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), Mr. President. You said BBI was the agenda of the rich who were pushing it to create positions for themselves. You called them Dynasties and said such documents had no place in our country.

You said, “Serikali yangu haitakuwa ya vyeo na mamlaka.” You said your government would be for Hustlers. You said, “Hii ni serikali ya mama mboga na watu was boda boda.” What changed? Did you just use the mama mbogas and boda bodas to ascent to power and then throw them away like toilet paper?

Mr. President, you hated “positions” during your campaigns. What happened? Uhuru Kenyatta had warned us about you. Are you proving him right? We thought, even if he was right, you would pretend to prove him wrong by being too good.

Mr. President, 50 CASs when the country cannot even feed its women and children? 50 CASs when 5.6 million Kenyans are facing acute hunger? 50 CASs when 12 million Kenyans cannot afford a meal a day? 50 CASs when your government is struggling to pay salaries? If this is not madness, what is?

Each of the human beings you appointed is entitled to a one-off mortgage payment of 35 million shillings and a 10 million shillings car grant, adding to 990 million shillings.

Mr. President, do you know that the Hustlers will additionally provide 10 million shillings and 3 million shillings inpatient and outpatient medical cover for the human beings you just appointed? Do you also know that Hustlers will be financing the running of their offices?

Mr. President, do you know that each of the human beings you just appointed is entitled to two top-of-the-range vehicles, a driver, an unspecified number of security personnel to be moving around with him or her and guarding their Nairobi and rural homes, a personal assistant and two secretaries?

Anyway, it is time for you and your people to eat. Who are we to say no when you were chosen by God himself? Khabusie.
