  Some comments here are: "Who will save Kenya?" No one else will save Kenya from hyenas except the Kenyans themselves. Did people forget how we got independence? People fought. Did people forget how we got Section 2A repealed? By fighting. Do people forget how UASU, Administration Police, KNUT, etc got a salary raise? By fighting.

  It is shameful. Kibaki is indicating that he has an unfinished business with Kimunya. Swapping Uhuru with Kimunya is neither a trick nor a game; it is impunity. The President is busy strangling the nation on the bed of his demise. What is the difference between the two men? Is it in the name? Kibaki should tell Kenyans why he believes other Kenyans can not make Cabinet Ministers. Tribalism is bad.

  This is a case of the untouchables. No wonder they are quick at gagging the media. We can follow the stench to the rot. Now you know whose interest is being served here. Need I say more?

  I personally do not advocate for or against Kimunya. But I think he is even much better than many MPs & Ministers who are still sitting & not doing anything to benefit us as Kenyans. All we need is food, jobs vibrant economy. We need ministers who can make good deals for us.

  Despite a meltdown of economic locally and globally the government still give a slap on the face of Kenyans by reapporting Hon. Kimunya who deliberatly lied to kenyans on the eve of the scandles. This act by the president is approve that Kenyans' commissions of enquiries are mechanisms of silencing citizens of their rights demands.

  This is impunity at it is best! In his inagural speech Kibaki promised to hold the responsibilities of the state SACRED.

  Sure he may have failed. May be more by omission than commision. But having been exonerated by our key witness under oath (James Orengo), it is in order to just let him do his job. He also gets an extra credit for having initiated a move to have MPs pay tax. This is a matter that has been controversial throughout the country. He resuscitated an economy that was in a comma.

  Just like oll other inquiries conducted by the state at the public expense, this one has not yielded any better results. The people of Kenya continue to be bamozzled and starved to death while the culprits are given back their jobs to execute another bigger heist! What a shame. Is it a wonder that when Kenyans get a chance to let out their frustrations they go completely wild? It is not ever yet!!

  By the time Kibaki leaves office in 2012, Kenya will be in the hands of a few rich individuals and the rest of us will be beggars. You now understand why people voted against him in the last election. I do not fully understand what goes on in his head and those people around him. I am truly ashamed of being a Kenyan.

  Never will a plutocrat commiserate with a common man. No wonder they wanted to stick on power at all costs after losing the elections. Kenyans should jam the streets and claim their own belonging. How long will these corrupt regime rule Kenyans, steal our properties while we lay back and watch? First it was the Anglo Leasing and now Laico.

  Is this true? Did the prime minister know this before the reshuffle? Are the MPs aware of this? I m suprised. Who will save Kenyans?
