Hasten naming of Cabinet to get country moving again

A few days ago, Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General Francis Atwoli wondered aloud why it was taking President Uhuru Kenyatta too long to name his full Cabinet, a matter which he, Atwoli, said needed only hours to accomplish.

But while it might not be as easy as Atwoli makes it seem, considering the intrigues and the delicate act of naming a Cabinet that reflects the face of Kenya; one acceptable to all is no easy task. Yet, with his experience, clear goals and an understanding of the people needed to help him secure his legacy, President Uhuru should have dispensed with the matter of the cabinet by now.
