Opinion: Interior CS Fred Matiang’i should be praised for his leadership

Interior CS Fred Matiang'i.

I belong to the school of thought that leaders are born and not made. The late John Muchuki was effective in all the ministries he headed. He belongs to those born leaders. Interior CS Fred Matiang’i has been effective, so far, in all the ministries he has headed. In my view, he too, belongs to leaders born. Leaders lead and managers manage.

His hands-on leadership approach enables him to make decisions based on the facts, closest to the reality on the ground rather than the report-driven decision from offices. The Lean Thinking Approach demands that leaders make fact-based and not on report-based decisions. Thus Matiangi is on the leading-edge and should be congratulated and enumerated by the other Cabinet Secretaries.
