Kenya’s Cabinet Of Clowns: A Symphony Of Incompetence As Kenya Dooms

BY Soko Directory Team · October 3, 2024 06:10 pm

Kenyans, have you ever seen such a tragic comedy unfold before your eyes? If the government were a circus, the current cabinet would be its lead clowns, stumbling over their own feet, pretending to juggle the fate of a nation. The spectacle is both hilarious and terrifying because the stakes are nothing less than the future of 55 million citizens. At this point, you have to wonder, are they incompetent, or are they simply mocking us?

Take the CS for Education, who can’t even explain the new university funding model. It’s as if they pulled a policy out of thin air and now can’t remember what it was supposed to do. Are we supposed to trust our children’s futures to someone who couldn’t find a textbook in a library, let alone reform the education system? It’s like hiring a chef who doesn’t know how to boil water, yet expects applause for the “meal” they’ve made. Perhaps they think we’ll swallow anything they serve us, no matter how undercooked.

And then there’s CS Lands. Affordable housing, they say, while standing on land worth billions, silently watching Kenyans being evicted from their homes. Ask them to explain how this magical housing concept will work, and all you’ll get is awkward silence. Affordable housing? For whom? Certainly not for the Kenyans living in squalor, scraping to survive while those in power buy up land like they’re collecting stamps. If this is their idea of housing reform, I suggest they build themselves a house of cards—it would be far sturdier than their current policies.

Meanwhile, CS Health cannot explain the SHIF medical insurance scheme, a plan that should be saving lives but sounds more like a pyramid scheme designed to siphon money from already suffering Kenyans. In a country where getting sick is a death sentence because you can’t afford treatment, their silence on this issue is as deafening as it is deadly. They might as well be handing out “Get Well Soon” cards at the hospital entrances, for all the good they’re doing. Perhaps they’re just waiting for divine intervention since their policy certainly isn’t going to save anyone.

And how about CS Transport? The ministry that should ensure Kenyans can travel safely and efficiently across the country is tied up in a shady deal with Adani over JKIA. Ask them about the contract terms, and suddenly, it’s as if someone stole their homework. How does one fumble a deal involving the country’s main international gateway? Are we trading away our national assets to pad the pockets of a few elites while the rest of us wait in endless traffic on crumbling roads? This government is selling our future by the mile, and they won’t even explain the price.

Then there’s the matter of CS Interior, who has become the poster child of national negligence. Nationwide abductions are happening on their watch, yet they have no answers, no accountability, and no shame. How is it that in a supposedly functioning government, people can disappear without a trace while the man in charge shrugs his shoulders like he’s lost his car keys? The silence on this matter is not just worrying—it’s criminal. But why should they care about the safety of everyday Kenyans when their own security details rival small armies?

You would think, by now, that these ministers would be on the defensive, perhaps even trying to explain themselves. But no, they march on in arrogance, pretending they haven’t been caught with their pants down. It’s as if they believe Kenyans are too distracted or too docile to notice the farce unfolding before us. They forget that even the most patient sheep eventually rebels when it’s being led to the slaughter.

At this point, we must ask: who is the joke really on? Them, for thinking they can get away with it, or us, for allowing it? The truth is, this government has become a national embarrassment, a stain on the fabric of a proud people. How much longer can we tolerate such blatant incompetence, such shameless dereliction of duty? It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion, except the passengers are 55 million Kenyans, and no one is coming to save us.

The cabinet’s failures are not accidents. They are symptoms of a government that has lost all connection to the people it claims to serve. They sit in their ivory towers, whispering sweet nothings into each other’s ears, while we, the people, are left to pick up the pieces of a broken system. They think they can blind us with slogans and shallow promises, but the only thing more transparent than their lies is their utter incompetence.

It’s time for Kenyans to realize that this is not a leadership crisis—it’s a moral crisis. A crisis that demands not just resignation but a complete overhaul. This government has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is incapable of steering the country in the right direction. Why should we wait for them to lead us further into the abyss? Every day they remain in power, our future slips further from our grasp.

Enough is enough. We must demand their resignation, not out of spite, but out of necessity. Kenya cannot afford to be ruled by a cabinet of fools any longer. If they won’t leave on their own, it’s time we show them the door. We have the power to reclaim our country from the hands of those who would see it crumble. And if we don’t act now, we will only have ourselves to blame when there’s nothing left to save.

So Kenyans, are we content to be the punchline of this government’s tragic joke, or are we ready to stand up and take back what is ours? The answer is in our hands. If this government won’t resign, then we must make them. The time for silence is over—let the reckoning begin.
