Almost half of Kenyans express little or no confidence in the current crop of Cabinet Secretaries, a poll by Ipsos Synovate suggests.The poll shows only 53 per cent of the respondents say they have either a lot (17 per cent) or some (36 per cent) confidence in the CSs as a team.This comes as President Uhuru Kenyatta is widely expected to reshuffle his Cabinet.The rating is lower than President Uhuru's personal score of 67 per cent in the same survey conducted between July 30 and August 9.As a whole, the national government gets an approval rating of 65 per cent from Kenyans who say they have a lot or some confidence in its performance.Of the 17 per cent who says they have a lot of confidence in the CSs, 24 per cent are from Jubilee, while six per cent are from Cord.The same trend is seen in the national government. Thirty percent of Jubilee supporters surveyed expressed a lot of confidence, compared with eight percent from Cord.The survey covered 2,002 respondents age 18 and above in 41 counties. They were interviewed at random and face to face in English, Swahili and Somali. The margin of error is +/- 2.2 with a 95 per cent confidence level.The poll also suggests Kenyans believe county governments have performed better than the national government.The survey shows 64 per cent of the respondents said they have a lot or some confidence in governors. County governments got 69 percent approval.The poll indicates 57 per cent of the respondents have a lot or some confidence in MCAs.The survey suggests that in general Parliament gets 59 per cent approval, while 51 per cent have a lot or some confidence in the opposition.The survey suggests Kenyans approve more of their MPs (61 per cent) than their Senators (46 per cent).Overall, only 37 per cent of Kenyans say the current Parliament has performed better than the last one; thirty per cent said the performance is worse.Among those saying Parliament has performed better, the three main reasons are "improved development, leadership and implementation of the Constitution'.Those saying Parliament performs worse than its predecessor cite leadership, corruption, parliamentary procedure and development failure.While 50 per cent of Jubilee supporters say Parliament has performed better, 42 per cent of those in Cord say it's worse.Speaker of the National Assembly Justin Muturi gets an approval rating of 50 per cent, while Majority Leader Aden Duale gets 40 per cent.The poll indicates that 53 per cent of respondents who know who their MP is would re-elect him or her, while 19 per cent would not vote for them and 19 per cent are unsure.- See more at: http://www.the-star.co.ke/news/half-kenyans-lack-faith-cabinet-secretaries#sthash.vxvHc8Ja.dpuf
