As Uhuru Kenyatta takes over the wheels of power from Mwai Kibaki, it has come to my attention that there was a miss in the farewell parties organised by various State organs. Lest we forget it was Coalition Government on a 50-50 basis between the two principals and I find it rather unfair for all the accolades being directed to only one principal of the coalition. Kibaki has received all the praise for all the development projects initiated by the Coalition Government while Raila has had to bare all the misfortunes encountered by the nusu mkate government in their tenure. The move by the head of Civil Service Francis Kimemia hinting out a possible ceremony due after Uhuru’s swearing-in to bid farewell to the outgoing Prime minister is rather late and unnecessary.
I have a strong belief that the said ceremony is just , but a public relations act Kimemia is putting in place to clear the air.
