CS Henry Rotich has failed Kenyans and should be shown the door

NAIROBI: Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich should be fired. The Treasury has failed President Uhuru Kenyatta. And because of that, Kenyatta should set a precedent by firing Mr Rotich to demonstrate to Kenyans and other government officials that he takes the job of governing seriously. How did we not know, months in advance, that we were going to face a cash crunch? Does the Treasury have forecasts of its cash position? Do the people doing the forecasting have an inkling of what they are doing? Does Rotich know the kind of impact this lapse has had on the Kenyan economy?

Some of you are probably thinking that well, Rotich is not solely responsible for the failure at the Treasury; that his underlings should also take the flak.
