  National outlook cabinet. I’m sure Kibaki will win over those who saw him as a tribalist….

  Tsk!

  I am waiting to see how long Kibaki and Raila will go at this game of chicken before they realise that 37 million lives are at stake.

  This was an ill-advised move. Kenya needs a political solution out of its current problem and this move by the president will only make things worse.

  when did the rain start beating us so hard??

  Really, this is Kibaki’s ‘up yours’ sign at the opposition. He couldn’t have chosen a worst sign at the worst time. Talk of deliberating to fuel the fire to higher tempratures.

  Kenyans need a break.

  Very irresponsible leadership that borders on negligency. They are willing to risk the innocent lives of Kenyans to get what they want.. After all, isn’t it just the poor killing the poor? How sad that our leadership does not care for all Kenyans.

  Riots have broken out in Kisumu, Kibera, Kariobangi and Mathare.

  Poor, poor Musyoka. The ultimate definition of a political opportunist.

  Does anyone really think that Kibaki is in control here? And is anyone really surprised? This is how he has always lead Kenya… when things are bad, he is quiet and calm…then tries to come out with force when things calm down. This is a different Kenya.. GOD BLESS KENYA and hope the bloodshed stops. Our lives are not worth it.

  Even if this line up wont change for the next 5 years: am I blind or do I only see two female Ministers here?

  Geaoge Saitoti, a man with the Goldenberg albatross hanging round his neck in charge Internal security, a ministry with the Anglo-Leasing albatross hanging round its neck. Interesting combination.

  I think Kibaki named a partial cabinet to reflect the division in the country. How poetic.
  Now to the next task of governing half a country.
  Kazi “Nusu” iendelee!!

  I realized something else. Parliament convenes on Monday. I guess he needed to make sure that Kanu and ODM-K remain in the fold to fight the ODM majority…
  Business as usual… ODM needs to stop dreaming that Kibaki will listen to their demands. They need a new strategy on how to fight this.. pity our judiciary and legislative branches are not strong…
  We have to stop playing around with constitutional reforms.. these are the things that must be fixed

  Naming the cabinet now - is this governance or confrontation? No matter who the appointees are, the timing looks to give a message that is troubbling.

• 11. Mdamey  |  January 9th, 2008 at 3:47 pm

  Presdent Mwai and his government should know that more provocations like announcing cabinet before some sort of mediation will only lead to more violence and consequantly death of innocent Kenyans and destruction of their properties. JE YE HAONI HILO. By the way where are the other East African leaders of the so called EAC

  @ concerned: Is this the facial expression for someone showing sorrow for those in pain of loss?

  So my old school colleague from St Mary’s Uhuru Kenyatta gets Local Government…… How odd. I must have a strange implated memory…… weren’t Uhuru K and Mwai K not sworn rivals who fought an election a few years ago, won by Kibaki who would be the great reformer, while Uhuru represented the shattered remnants of the Moi regime……. Oh ironies. Or has there been a Damascene conversion?

  There is someone who needs to wake up, not me!!!

• 16. Shiroh  |  January 11th, 2008 at 2:41 pm

  You all hope that the violence should continue so that the whole world can ask Kibaki to step down. Well it will not, we have God on our side

• 17. Mtanzania  |  January 18th, 2008 at 9:17 pm

  I´m Tanzanian. Kenya is like my home. Shiroh has made a geat point ¨.. We have God on our side..¨. This is the message every Kenyan should hear. We should turn to God and ask Him to humble all the leaders so that they may see things the way God wants them to.
