Qualifications aside, my beef with Matiang’i is simply his attitude that betrays a high level of impunity, arrogance and a rare form of hubris. He displays a sense of “superiority” over not just ordinary Kenyans but the Constitution. He acts in a way that shows he looks at the Laws of this country as obstacles and not guidelines to help him deliver services.
My suspicions about the man were first aroused when he went to his native Kisii to “represent” The President who had skipped the burial service for 15 victims of a school bus tragedy following a road accident. It is not the booing he got or the fact that he was prevented from addressing the mourners that I noticed. It is his reaction. He made insinuations directed at CORD without offering any evidence. He emerged not as a technocrat but a partisan politician sent to Kisii to be a jubilee party hack.
Hardly had Matiang’i been in office before he embarked on “Chotaraism” (defined as extreme and laughable political sycophancy) by accusing the social media users of exploiting it to ” ‘intentionally’ assassinate the characters of President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto”! He clearly sought to become an “information” minister of the old Communist days when News on the National Broadcaster was known as “Information” or “Matangazo”. It is at this point I started doubting his academic qualifications.

It is good that MPs today are required to have some signs of education. If I recall correctly, it was Chotara who got up in parliament and demanded to know why the police had not arrested Karl Marx, who, from what he had been told, was the source of university-students' funny ideas.

Well, that is if you call a Form Four dropout "Educated". The original idea was to demand a Bachelors degree or even diploma. The MPs got rid of it. Only governors were subjected to that condition - not that their deep pockets disappointed them (Joho degree sounds familiar?)
Matiang'i appointed a Washington International University graduate who the Nation TV journalists describe as a great achiever.
