Kibaki’s new toy

Did someone in statehouse put a copy of the current constitution on Kibaki’s bedside table on Tuesday night? The guy seems surprised at how much power he has. Like a kid with a new toy he can not help himself and has to play with it all the time.
I can sack the cabinet?? YEEHAA.
I can prorogue parliament?? YEEHAA!
I hope he skipped the pages on emergency powers.
Kibaki has finally found his voice, his mojo, his decision making brain cells. Ahh but it is too late in the day for Kibaki to turn all decisive and strong on us. While trying to act like he is setting the agenda he is in fact reacting to it. His credibility has been undermined beyond salvation. The EA Standard reports that, “… the President was angry with his close advisors, who apparently kept him in the dark regarding the mood of the country in the run-up to the referendum in which the Government suffered a resounding defeat.”
You’ve been in the office for how long and you still do not know what the country is thinking? I mean honestly!

But as MsK, in a passionate conversation, pointed out the man had little choice, he had to do something. The only way he can emerge out of this self engineered crisis is by getting rid of all the cartoons in his cabinet. Unfortunately Kibaki seems so detached from reality I do not see that happening. I wait to be pleasantly surprised. (MsK I haven’t forgotten about our 5 bob bet!)

Let us all email our CVs to statehouse. The man wants a fresh start and fresh faces who better than us eh!
