Why Kenya needs a non-elected President appointed on merit; as the country’s CEO

Esther Waringa is President of Public Service Governance (PSG) lobby, which is spearheading ‘Kenya Bila Uchaguzi’ campaign.  She spoke to The Nairobian about why hustlers vs dynasties narrative can destroy the country.

You have been pushing for abolition of electoral system, what are the alternatives?
I am pushing for a public service system of governance that encompasses a bottom-up approach where all ministries shall be devolved. We don’t need elected representatives to drive the country’s development agenda. Instead people with relevant expertise must be empowered to deliver services. Apart from addressing the rising wage bill, we shall save money used for voter registrations, elections, campaigns and paying the elected representatives.
