When moi was our king, we really complained that he was too powerful, we sang yote yawezekana and brought “operation fagilia”…before long, we had Kibaki who gave some of those powers to other institutions.in 07’ we asked the parliament to pass a law that would reduce the powers of our president… We wanted a "ceremonial president " true to our word, we passed a constitution in 2010 that took most of his powers and gave it out to governors, mps and the senate
Ffwd 2016…we want our president to deal with corruption,At the same time, he cannot fire a CS.he cannot fire his own staff, he cannot even fires toilet cleaner… Just in case he fires one, the individual will just rush to our courts for delay… Take a look at Hassan Wario… He found a lot of scam in rio, after suspending the involved parties, the same guys rushed to court to get a court order declaring his move illegal… Ladies and gentlemen, we can eat our cake and still have a piece… Uhuru is helpless in fighting corruption, we need to empower him 1st before asking for results
Remember how we all thought Senators will be having more power than governors. It turned out to be the other way around.
This activist constitution isn’t good for the country. Too much power was taken out of the presidency.
Couple that with babuon’s penchant to politicize everything.
Tragedy.
