Ethnic Appointments: Uhuru Does it Again!

This time he has sacked Kimaiyo and appointed Karangi. I pray he continues on that same trajectory.

President Uhuru Kenyatta has revoked the appointment of Kenya Airports Authority Chairman David Kimaiyo.

In a gazette notice, the ex-police boss will be replaced by retired Chief of Defence Forces Julius Karangi.

Mr Kimaiyo was appointed KAA chair on December 31, 2014 and it is not yet clear why his appointment was revoked.

Is this what did him in?

Now it balanced. Kangogo has been acting MD with Kimaiyo the chairman.

Nothing will come out of this probe. The files will be termed "national security" and end of the story.

Acting MD is nothing. He will be shown the door if he is not Gema. KAA and KPA are reserved for the chosen kabila.
KAA has been in Gema hands since 2002 when Kibaki took the presidency. Kimaiyo's tenure was just an interruption of the obvious. He will be given another job like head of Pyrethrum Board

Now it balanced. Kangogo has been acting MD with Kimaiyo the chairman.

What does the constitution say about these types of appointments?  The more the reason to hand everything that isn't foreign affairs and defense over to the counties.

In your list of parastals you seem to be shifting; is it KPA, KAA, KRA, KPL or which one? In terms of eating...I'd look at parastals that have eating opportunity...and for now...Railways with SGR...KPA with port expansions....KENHA (as always)...KAA (port expansion)..then Irrigation and power sector (KPLC-KENGEN-GDC-KPL)...LAPSET/KONZA (potentially)...etc etc etc...ministry of agricluture still have large eating in fertilizers and subsidy...NYS just became big conduit.In short there is just enough eating everywhere.....I'd look at the budget for each ministry and parastal....and ring fenced those.

This lame conspiracy that kikuyu have reserved some seat for themselves is just lame. Kimaiyo was KAA chairman (really powerful:)) and now former Chief of Staff is now the chairman....we had kikuyu had reserved the chief of staff before Uhuru gave it to who?

Kimaiyo has been fired for most likely not being able to work with the Minister & PS in charge--and maybe his board.

Acting MD is nothing. He will be shown the door if he is not Gema. KAA and KPA are reserved for the chosen kabila.
