From the scary to 'feel good': What CS should spell out in his first statement

Treasury CS John Mbadi presents his maiden Budget Statement to Parliament at a time the nation is frayed at the edges - politically, economically and socially.  As young people are arrested, abducted and murdered on his watch, President William Ruto insists he is uniting the Kenyan nation. Well, he is definitely uniting Kenyans against his administration. Remember, when public good or bad happens in the country, the buck stops at his desk. That’s the job! 

It is easy to resort to “what-about-ism”, that all these bad things happened before. The better perspective for this administration is to recall that they sought high office to do things differently.
