Beware of CORD’s appetite to manufacture crises

The weeks leading to President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Cabinet reshuffle will easily be remembered as the noisiest in Kenya’s history of Opposition politics. Interestingly, even after the anti-corruption crusade got new players followed closely by the nomination of new Cabinet and Principal Secretaries, the Opposition continued its unrelenting tirade on the President’s sweeping but assertive action.

What is now clear is that the noise was not about impropriety in Government or the supposedly under-performing economy. The noise was no more than the predatory shrieking and bellowing of people jostling for political space.
