   Yep, that feels about right. Too many ministries to get too little work done. If there is anyone I feel sorry for it is the genuine ODM supporters who seem to be slowly watching their hero, their rebel, betray them.

   Bloody idiots done taken us for fools yet again. And was it Mr Gummi Bear who had the audacity to say that the ‘people in the rural areas don’t have a prorem with this’ so we shouldn’t either? URGHHH.

   Let me go back to pulling my hair out while I figure how to evade taxes this year. And with inflation at a 20% all time high!! These effing dolts gat jokes!

   90 Ministries? That is 270 new jobs of the 500,000 promised in 2002!

   Bloody idiots have NOT taken us for fools… we are the fools to elect the bloody idiots!

   In a few years Kenyans will have enough ministries to elect aspirants directly for these seats…

   Kenya… the view from where I stand (bottom of the shitpile) doesn’t look hopeful…

   Oops… I gotta duck coz another arse is shitting on me…

   there’s still sato and sato night for these guys to stop and think; “dude, maybe the cabinet is too big if we need a public address system to hold our meetings…?!”

   And we expect the rest of the world to take kenyans seriously..

   People of earth, no one will fight your battles for you. Rid yourself of these Lords. The British did it. The French did it. The…

   3rd reason i am ashamed to be Kenyan.

    Ati we have a unique problem so we needed a unique solution. You dont say.

    Ministry of Magic.

    Since all the elected louts are already in the other ministries i expect to be appointed to the newly created Ministry of Magic. This Ministry shall be in the sole charge of abracadabraing money so that the other Ministries have money to run. Clearly the 30% income tax and 16% VAT they siphon from me every month is not going to suffice.

    I will avoid this web site at work…U’ll get me fired…..it started with a smile and bursted out before I could finish reading!

12. 12. donworry (57 Comments) | April 5th, 2008 at 11:22 am

    A comic tragedy. M you have shone a light on this mess and it doesn’t look very nice. This does not say much about our own ability to choose leaders. It does not say much about our ability to have meaningful change ……we are messing up things for the kids and future generations BIG time.

13. 13. Nakeel (77 Comments) | April 5th, 2008 at 11:31 am

    Ministry of kurumazira and witchcraft.
    Ministry of Mungiki and other inlawed sects.
    Ministry of visitors relations Peter “mumunya” Munya.

    We so messed up so dead now everything will be double taxed to get salary for these hyenas and vultures.

    Werrcome to the Kingdom of Kenya. HE the King of Kenya abides….

    Dude, i sometimes think these guys have smoked the wrong stuff and now want to copy Haile Selassie?

    WTF, really.

15. 15. mwasjd (1 Comments) | April 5th, 2008 at 9:01 pm

    LOL! Too funny. Kwanza Optimus prime!!! Hahaha
    But I think other ministries no 17 is the same as no 27?

16. 16. Gaella (1 Comments) | April 6th, 2008 at 10:07 pm

    LOL! This really cracked me up! You’re too funny . It should be published in one of the local newspapers, hahaha.

17. 17. Shiroh (35 Comments) | April 7th, 2008 at 9:50 am

    You so rock!!!

    While at it they could add Minister of Blogs and internet publications

18. 18. seasonsandreasons (15 Comments) | April 7th, 2008 at 10:57 am

    Jokes aside…was this the reason watus were chasing each other with bow and arrows baying for blood not so long ago?

    Actually it has come to pass that Kibaki and Raila are all cut from the same clothes and they own the national cake.

19. 19. prousette (143 Comments) | April 7th, 2008 at 11:02 am

    LMAO, that news after the white smoke done upset me.
    Very funny.

    i can see the priest hood thing is still in your blood if the post on *about M* is anything to go by

21. 21. ---Supreme-G.R.E.A.M--- (18 Comments) | April 7th, 2008 at 12:20 pm

    What About,
    The Ministry of Hip Hop,
    The Ministry of Ministers (Is this what they r calling Cabinet Affair?),

22. 22. Kirima (64 Comments) | April 7th, 2008 at 12:35 pm

    Only!!!
    We want more, they promised 500,000 jobs a year what we didn’t realise is that they meant Cabinet jobs.

23. 23. modoathii (13 Comments) | April 7th, 2008 at 1:46 pm

    LOL! that’s just too hilarious. lakini seriously if all this hidiots start asking for posts coz of loyalty we may see 210 ministries formed.

    ministry of sun, moon and stars, there are three ministries here.

    i like lucy’s post. dude lakini, hiyo sigara nono, ai…

24. 24. Kenyanchick (16 Comments) | April 7th, 2008 at 4:31 pm

    You killed me at “Darth Vader.”

    I find myself unable to continue.

25. 25. Abelian (53 Comments) | April 8th, 2008 at 11:46 am

    This may be funny but it a horrific business, someone did the calculation and found running this cabinet would cost the taxpayers 500 Million shillings a year!!!

    This is sickening and ridiculous!!! For a poor country like ours this money could be put to better use!!!

26. 26. Gish (16 Comments) | April 8th, 2008 at 4:06 pm

    This is not even funny then the economists dare argue that the more the ministries the more jobs there will be. Where will the hefty salaries and allowances come from? You and I plus the other millions living on less then a dollar a day. At the approximate cost of 500M a year, suddenly re-elections dont look that bad then we can send them all home.

27. 27. toiyoi (106 Comments) | April 8th, 2008 at 11:02 pm

    Now that they must ALL EAT, here is a better solution a better solution:
    have 15-20 Ministries, but have 3 ministers (CEO, CFO, COO) and 3 assistant minister (VP-1,VP-2,VP-3):

    Why:
    (o) Everybody wins (are we not all Kenyans?), so both Kimunya, Nyong’o and Sirma can be co-ministers of finance.
    (i) 20×6=120, so ALL MPs can be a minister. Flip the list once every 2.5 years.
    (ii)Reduced cost of running the ministries as no need to new infra-structure, just extra cubicles! MP pay should be enough, no extra pay for being a minister, enjoy the flag and ability to “eat” from the contracts.
    (iii) More work will get done. Surely, applying 6 brains and 12 hands at a problem is bound to get us moving fast towards vision 2035 (now that 1-5 years already lost).
    (iv) less likely case of mega corruption, as each of the C-level will ALL have to agree to “eat”.

28. 28. mkenya (1 Comments) | April 10th, 2008 at 8:12 pm

    LMAO guys lighten up. Personally lately all I here bout Kenya is the depressing nonsense of 2 methuselah age mates holding 3.5m Kenyans hostage over some decision they will make in some boardroom anyway. We guys clobbering each other r the fools whether we bury our faces in sand or manure. M pls do a sequel.

29. 29. Carol (18 Comments) | April 11th, 2008 at 4:20 pm

    lmao!!!
    Thats it M,the best way to swallow a painful truth.And with the spirit of a working nation, Kenyans are yet to pay taxes!
    That is true,bomseh! Go GOK go!!! go on betraying us. As the locals tarmac, those in parliament get more jobs! If anything the promise is being fulfilled.

30. 30. Girl Next Door (3 Comments) | April 13th, 2008 at 5:40 am

    We only have 90 ministries? Why not just round it up to 100? There are some excellent suggestions for new ministries above=)
    And they haven’t told us yet about the hefty salaries, allowances, and cars to be imported for these VIPs.
    Truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

31. 31. Wambui (5 Comments) | April 13th, 2008 at 11:11 pm

    Just marathon read Feb to April. Sides sore from laughing, even though brain not exactly convinced all this nonsense our country has been put through is remotely funny.

32. 32. edge.of.sanity (42 Comments) | April 14th, 2008 at 10:17 am

    Bigger is better…right?

    Just a few new areas to showcase the ineffectiveness of the GoK. Sadly, it will be a costly affair.
