Hahaha ati Cinderella, Red Riding Hood, Big bad wolf!!!
Nicely put.
After 2 weeks of blessed silence…
The drama begins…
hehehe!
The famous quote about a certain personality who "never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity" comes to mind. Personally I’m very disappointed. The only outstanding thing in that announcement was the preceding speech which had me going for a while. but just as my hopes had been raised slightly, the dude had just to bring em all crashing down.
PS. I’ve only made 14 comments?!
Kibaki is either incredibly stupid or incredibly smart.
If there was Kenya Force One type of plane and all the cabinet ministers (elected and de-selected) were in it, and it crashed, does it mean Kenya would be leaderless as we seem to be recycling the same old, over (under) used fossils and mummies (undead)?
Just wanted to say that I am proud of my second place groupie status.. What do I get? ;)
(Ok, this is stalking I realise, but I had to hit forty)
Yes :)
The Big Bad Wolf (Bores prey to death)
Musikari Kombo
…..lol…funny funny.
hey how come I only have one comment? EVER? i demand a recount
You my dear, are just a treasure. Who else would put it so succintly. I want a Chicken Licken in there BTW.
@G
LOL you little hussy!
Puss in boots forever, i am disapointed by the old man
so are you saying that Njeru Ndwiga is actually an ugly sista who can’t wear the slipper??? LOL— good list!
Njenga Karume….I mean kamon, Oldilocks is playing. This dude has been in parliament since Lord knows when. Can he even write anymore? But with 500K he can find someone to do it for him. All he has to keep pracoing is his signature.
And why is he letting this peeps that are quiting within a day feel hot for him. Si he just appoints new p’ple. kwani?
@Teej
Thing is it was meant to be a coalition party. NARC won the election not DP. So now that people are quitting left right and center where is he going to get these new guys from?
Besides it took him 2 weeks to come up with this list. It shall take longer for him to come up with another list to replace the guys who are quitting. (And the new appointees might just quit again :-))
bored to tears by all this politiking.
just wanted to see how many or rather how few comments i got…
I wept in disappointment as I watched the New Look cabinet roll off the press either "new" changed meaning at 7.59 pm EAT or I missed the whole boat what makes me smile is that people actually rejected the posts.
I totally mistrust politicians but never in my limited Moi era experience did anybody ever reject any favor bestowed on them by a sitting president.
Fond memories of Kamotho and "the kiatu- that- shall -fit -come what- may" by reddykulas
Shall we wait and see???
LOL @ puss in boots, you’ll get me fired, thinker.
And, I have nothing to say about the new line-up, nothing at all. Finally, as we say in kinandi, this whole thing has ‘caught my mouth’
@ mlevi
Your not alone when it comes to being fed up with these guys. As much as I was least concerned with Oldilocks when he was making his cabinet announcement I was pleasently surprised when the said appointees rejected their posts. Its as Prousette said these things never happened before!
@Prousette
It would have been suicide for someone to reject a seat. Lets not forget that back in the day we had torture chambers and followed with detention so ukileta kichwa you shall be deal with according.
@Chepkemboi
>>"as we say in kinandi, this whole thing has ‘caught my >>mouth’"
hahaha very appropriate! I was in the same state jana listening to the news trickling in from the street…
@M
Dont even start saying that Moi should come back! (Putting words in your mouth??:-? ) And no we dont need another Moi either!
Wait a bit, did Musikari Kombo just say he thought he wanted to be VP? I was lost but now i am found. I say Kibs i am ready to be an assistant of an assistant of an assistant Minister.
WTF, it is all about political musical chairs, CABINET POSTS upfor Grabs…..They just lost their taste,.UUI Kiunjuri doesn’t want to share an assistant minister post. SELFISH, UNDESERVING BASTARDS….
Poor old man, he might just collapse!
I think the Baks should retire and go farm vanilla. Every now and then Puss in boots (LMAO you’re such a nut!! Or maybe two ;-)) can make vanilla cookies which they’ll eat as they watch the sun go down over the Nyeri hills and reminisce over the good old days!! Ha that dude is f.r.i.e..d!
Ps/ Nimeamua Kalembe Ndile ni Chicken Licken. I know its not a Grimm tale but it so fits him.
Did you hear this one:
KWS reporting mass animal migration from Kenya to Tanzania. Experts say migration a protest against appointment of Kalembe Ndile as ass minister for wildlife.
The more things change, the more the stay the same…
Kibaki is now useful for only one thing: the subject of a case study on how NOT to lead a country.
Kenyan politics are becoming a soap opera, people getting appointed ..refusing the jobs offered them, then turning up to be sworn in…..who knows what will happen next!
The other thing akina Raila and co calling for snap elections….kwani Kenyans have nothing better to do with their time?
Why are Kenyan politic filled with wrangles about leadership and positions held? This politicians forget why they are elected in the first place……I think someone needs to give them a job discription before taking office. arrrg frurations!
whether he had actually included ODM or not, they still would have been a bunch of overpaid clowns with air in their head
I gat too much love for red riding hood why? I dunno, love the analysis and oh those names crazy,crazy
Have a good weekend…
Now we can see how Protecting a tribal seat realy works. just as Raila said "Kibaki’s Government is too small for him to destroy, kiraitu and muchuki will destroy it from within" and this is what we are seeing know.
M, who doesnt want to be a minister? almost all. therefore rejecting such an offer means that the one offering is in deep shit, of unsound mind, and under influence of veryintoxicants.
The urge to join the protesting animals to Tanzania keeps getting stonger by the day. If only I could get the hang of that Swa of naomba…
[...] M takes a story book approach to the cabinet lineup, complete with puss in boots, cinderella and the dwarves… [...]
my gosh, the Lucy as Puss in Boots, how exact…hahahahhahah! great blog entry!
Well the only positive thing about the fosils in govt is that soon they will be 6 feet under and be reincarnated as oil to fuel our jikos
kibaki is as wise a a sheep!
kiunjuri aka sleepy..alil below the belt (literally) dont u think :-)
With all due respect first u made this a good laugh.. Then as President as he is should just pave way for better pplke now coz he is just taking Over 30 MILLION pple for a ride and a Kalungu on top.. What the hell will Maina Kamanda talk to one Sepp Blatter not mentioning the Malcom Speed… What does he know?/
Michuki was working before even my mother thought of giving birth to me… this is tooo muchh
someone should make it a rule that every Mp should have some sort of degree….no wonder they are behaving like little nursery kids.
[...] M takes a story book approach to the cabinet lineup, complete with puss in boots, cinderella and the dwarves… [...]
Chapter 2 is unleashed, check it out. Asante sana…
you dont say,he called us chicken shit! yenyewe I have no clue as to what can be done.
et al am trying to make it to groupie status …whats on offer Mr M just M? For top groupie I mean.
@ Farmgal
Yep, good old Kibaki called us chicken shit. Gotta believe it, I watched it on KTN news and was left agog. His actual words were something like "… hawa ni pumbavu kabisa…mavi ya kuku…"
Shame, shame, shame on Kibaki!

@Morpheus
LOL! Nicely put!
@M
Looks like the president doesnt really care much about the people and what they think
PEOPLE Its only a few more months before we get these clowns off. I advice we best get rid of all these punks starting with the wazees out first. we need new ideas and young blood running this govt.
I nominate M for president.
Who’s seconding.
nice to know comments r being tracked. Had i known earlier i would have made more comments. I am happy being a back bencher.
@Brainz
No ways! If M becomes presi he will relegate me to be the country mascot. Being a national symbol like that really isnt what I had in mind.
What we need to do on a serious note is get that new constitution out. Then we can really control those jokers! I believe there was a clause (that the MP’s removed) about MP’s getting sacked if they dont deliver.
The constitution is the way to get these guys back on track. At the moment they are all doing what they love (politicking) and they are still enjoying their fat salaries (yet they havent done much on the ground for their so called ‘constituents’)
Orezo has a right to craft a losing team. It is said that when God is determined to remove a king he hardens his heart. Let him ajienjoy until he finds himself in the opposition once more.
kibaki’s an ass!…he sacked NSSF’s MD just coz he was an orange fela.the earlier this old geezers were consigned to the dustbin called political oblivion ,the better.they’re way past their expiry dates.
From unbwogable to unvotable.. what a let down kibaki has been!
shame on this government.
forgot one though – queen B: Martha Wamugunda
