Be rational on public service reforms

As with nearly everything in Kenya, the rolling out of the Government's Public Sector Reforms initiative is being politicised.

The truth of the matter is that it is a rationalisation measure, looking at funding options at the National and County levels. The point to grasp and internalise is that basically, rationalisation is not retrenchment. Neither is it necessarily a euphemism for firing. Not at all; true rationalisation is all about efficiency, not job bloodletting, as it were.
