Ministers have 90 days to make a difference

Much has been said about the need for government to take radical steps to transform its operations. In particular, the issue of perceived endemic corruption within various sectors of government dominated public debate and discussions most of the latter part of last year. Consequently, while we were away in the festivities, a reshuffle brought in some new Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries who were duly endorsed by Parliament. The hope was that this restructured team will deliver on key expectations of government.

Unfortunately, as the year has begun, there is little being heard or seen from the team. The most visible activities have been mainly from Dr Fred Matiang’i, the new CS for Education.
