| Governor Dr. Evans Kidero |
Nairobi Governor; Dr.
Evans Kidero has unveiled his Ten Member Cabinet comprising of highly qualified
personnel with proven integrity.
Notably, He brought
back former Town Clerk John Gakuo into his Cabinet. More notably, he appointed
Anne Lokidor, to head the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock Development and
Fisheries.
Going by reactions of
Kenyans on Social Media, it seems that the two nominees have raised some sort
of eyebrows. ‘ Mr. Gakuo viewed for the same Governor’s seat and lost…why bring
him back when there are thousands of deserving and even more qualified
Nairobians on the City Streets?..Wonders
one Thomas Jumano.
However, in a quick rejoinder, Gakuo seems to gather support
from some sources if the observations of one Ken and Christos are anything to
go with: ‘Thank you for considering John Gakuo to feature in your cabinet.
Gakuo did a lot for Nairobi. Kidero should continue joining hands with whoever
is willing to transform our beloved city’ ……. Ken. ‘It is John Gakuo who transformed Nairobi
City to the Current Greener City we all enjoy. All the beautiful trees within
Central Business District exist because of Gakuo’…… Christos.
Some Kenyans have
questioned the suitability of Anne Lokidor’s credentials to her designated
position. She holds a masters degree from University of Nairobi and a Bachelor
of Science from the same Institution. She has several years of experience in
Sales and Marketing, having worked at Sera Software East Africa and National
Cereals and Produce Board. It is her credentials visa viz the role expectations
that have raised a storm; similar to the Cabinet Secretary nominee of Health in
the Uhuru’s Cabinet.
Did Dr.Kidero
honestly balance and presented the real face of Kenya? Has he initiated ‘a
bigger political journey’ and thus laying the groundwork? Is He really going to
implement the Jubilee Agenda or He is focused on the CORD Agenda. Will he
really deliver on his election promises? …..The list of questions will always
be endless. However, Nairobians are keenly watching how their Governor is set
to tackle his election promises.
Work has to be done.
Whether Kidero’s list is a blunder or a strategy, Nairobians are keenly
watching and following. Decision Times Kenya wishes to congratulate Dr. Kidero
on Unveiling his team and wishes all of the best. Nairobi is patiently in wait.
