Kowtow to Kalonzo and follow the rest of the Kamba people back into the wilderness for another 5 years?
VS unaniangusha hapa,encouraging hypocrisy and reptilian behaviour from one of Uhuru’s rare stellar picks. When you declare that she is not liked, do you mean by Kalonzo, Ngilu and those that blindly follow that ‘kamwene’ philosophy? Nothing lost.
The people at that office will tell you the same, its not just politicians. She is dismissive to even those she works with or trying to help. Their in-house meetings with CAS Ababu and P.S Amb Kamau are very stormy at times. Soon UhuRuto will need to sit them down to get that office working in harmony.
Most of us here are not privy to the office politics and only see how well she took over from CS Amina.
Ababu to me is an aberration, a Jubilee blunder that introduced politics where it was least needed. I wouldn’t be surprised if tensions originated from him and his flashy, philandering habits.
Mme. Monica Juma need not stoop down to Ababu’s level or bicker with him and the rest to maintain collegial harmony. Kazi mbele.
The CAS position was created first due to this office. Remember CS Amina was too overworked constantly flying from capital to capital. Many times she was burned out, so Chief of Staff Kinyua then adviced accordingly that an assistance position should be created and he tasked PSC to work the details which led to CAS. Now CS is policy maker but all ministry execution is by PS. CS Monica directives are both and that’s where they are frictions. She give directives and goes ahead to implement them herself which should actually be Amb Kamau docket as PS. Amb Kamau having spent years at UN diplomatic core in NY has ideas and plans to change things and run more hands on like his predecessors. However he finds himself catching up to the CS or out of the loop. CAS Ababu takes his travels as directed, completes tasks as negotiated but find them not easy to implement back at HQ. I’m not saying she is bad person or not professional but she needs to be a better team player.
Is it also true that she also had frictions with Amina? I remember my friend Yvonne khamati mentioning something like that but I dismissed it. On arrogance I agree with you…juma is booksmart and tends to be arrogant due to that( reminds me of nyongo)…if I were her i would work closely with Ababu and Kamau
@spear and @mikel, Monica Juma is doing fine. I can sense the resentment from male underlings and idlers like Kalonzio tribalizing the issue, but she has survived bigger things.
Who is mikel?
@mikel is the netter who agreed with you a few posts ago. He likened her to, of all people, Anyang’ Nyong’o.
Don’t know him, I must have ignored ages ago.
Hehehehehehe! I have pretty many of those 100% invisible friends.
Not funny @Nattydread :D:D:D.
Grouping me with your invisibles sawa tu…Anyway am 40% anonymous here so invisible is an apt description
