Several Azimio la Umoja MPs disagree with Ruto’s choice of Cabinet nominees.
The section of MPs claimed the integrity of the 22 members that were nominated is questionable.
Led by the Ugunja Mp James Opiyo, the MPs aired their sentiments, stating that most of the nominees deserved to be in jail.
“In an economy that is crying for revival, it is shocking that the UDA administration has packed the proposed Cabinet with some men and women who should be in jail for engaging in economic crimes and sabotage of the country,”
“Most of the nominees suffer acute financial and ethical deficit which the appointing authority is aware of but chose to ignore in nominating them because, it would appear, in this administration, ethics and accountability won’t matter.” the MPs stated.
The MPs went on to say that many of the nominated cabinet will be lucky to get the pass from Parliament as they lacked the kind of critical thinking required to run Ministries.
“Equally worrying is the fact that a good number of the nominees have no demonstrated record of critical thinking that this country requires to dig itself out of the economic mess we’ve had for the past ten years,”
“If approved in its entirety, this will be the least inspiring Cabinet in Kenya’s history. It is the least qualified to manage the affairs of the state.”
“Our initial take, however, is that Kenyans should prepare themselves for very difficult times ahead, but they must know that there are a lot of questions about some of them and we will be asking those questions relentlessly.” they added.
