There is new reality show on K24 which seeks to amass support for Kenya's next CEO. It has 12 personalities drawn from Kenya's corporate fraternity. Caroline Mutoko,Martin Oduol,James Mwangi,John Githongo et al. The audience are to vote for their favorite as the contestants are eliminated on the basis of the number of votes recieved. It not clear though whether the last man/women standing will then be offered to Kenyans in the 2012 GE...But it does promise to be quite interesting though...

@Mr.Chai,

K24 basically covers Nairobi and environs.such an 'election' would favour one region.What do idiots like me who are out here in Migingo 'elect'....??

@ njunge,

Despite those limitations,isn't great that for a lot of people,the idea of an alternative leadership is beginning to make sense and hence the consideration. Many a folk are becoming sick and tired of the mediocre servings that we continue to partake on a daily in the name of governance. I'm simply lauding the effort.

@Chai,

@Mcreggae,

i would consider that list narrow.let's say there are some dudes out here who deserve being in the list.How about Naikuni,Vimal Shah,Kidero,Mahinda....and...ummmmhhhh,maybe MJ.Is he a Kenyan anyway??.My vote would go with MLOO.

Whatever criteria they used to enlist the like of Caroline Mutoko to the elitist 20 is something am yet to comprehend....I mean what has Mutoko achieved?Talking sex and dishing out sex makes one a CEO in this land called Kenya...! I wont even spend my free sms from YU and ZAIN lines to dignify this hopeless sense of mediocrity.

I wonder what part of brain some people use.

I liked the idea when I saw it jana. But I'd have hoped they would bring these people to the show and let them tell us what they can do given the chance. I disagree when people say that someone who has run a company very well, it follows that they can run a country well!

The full list is: Mutoko (Marketing Director - Radio Africa), Oduor (MD - KCB), Leakey (former civil service head), Mwangi (CEO - Equity), Mohammed (CEO - BBK), Mbogo (MD - Kenya Re), Koigi (MD/CEO - Post Bank), Shah (CEO - Bidco), Naikuni (CEO - KQ), Maathai (Nobel Laureate), Githongo (Ethics guy), Kipng'etich (MD - KWS)!

I don't understand why Caroline Mutoko, Eunice Mbogo and Leakey are there! There are more worthy people! Shuali!
