The twists of Tuju
Thursday, October 4th, 2007 at 6:16 PM
In today’s ridiculous news …
Kenya’s burdensome debt to developed countries is partly the product of theft on the part of “previous leaderships,” Foreign Minister Raphael Tuju said in a prepared statement distributed prior to his address to the UN General Assembly …
“I discovered that some of these loans were actually shady schemes, unnecessary pseudo projects whose only objective was to steal that money.” In the case of legitimate projects, Mr Tuju added in his written remarks, “some of the procurements were terribly flawed, and they cost double, triple or many times more than they should have cost.”
Tuju would be referring to the “previous leadership” of Daniel Arap Moi.
The same Moi he offered the job of regional peace envoy.
The same Moi he welcomed into Kibaki’s re-election camp as chairman of NARC-Kenya.
The same Moi at the heart of Kibaki’s re-election campaign.
Tuju must think we are cabbages or idiots. Or perhaps he thinks we don’t care either way.

I think the second option is the more likely!

Tuju is doubling as an efficient minister and a politician. the politician part of him requires flip flop and entertaining of the likes of Moi for survival.

Easily one of the most corrupt in Kibaki’s government. During his tenure as minister of information Tuju and his friends grabbed airwaves far more than what Moi and his boys did.
