These are the kind of connections Kenya needs in Washington When Njoroge will meet Hillary when she's POTUS or Kelly, it will be very personal, reminiscing their days at Yale. And the dollar pipeline to kenya will be wide open .........and on steroids. It really pays to have friends in very very high places. We are facing east boss. More yuan, less dollars needed. Those connections are not needed, are unnecessary. In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

Ama hiyo news bado hajafika huko Homa Bay?

The comments here are hilarious! Quote:Hizi zinaitagwa treasury bills ni nani alikula ndio ziiitwe hivyo na zinalipwa na nani. Ni hayo tu bwana chairman Quote:Asante bwana mwenyekiti kwa kunipa nafasi hii kuuliza swali langu nyeti,Daktari,kwani hospitali hazina nafasi kwa sababu unapewa kazi ya benki? Unaona ni ugonjwa gani utatibu huko bankini?

I have no issue with Dr Njoroge, infact my point hapo juu clearly wishes him well. However as usual, you are going overboard with your ethnic angle on everything. Many here probably have an issue with the fact that not many "0's" or "Wafs"are given a fair chance to get this jobs, its not just empty talk. P.S. Who is John "Kelly"?, did you mean "Kerry" "The purpose of bureaucracy is to compensate for incompetence and lack of discipline." James Collins

#Stolen from one lakeside fella [quote] I do not understand why President Uhuru Kenyatta is being pilloried over the nomination of Dr. Patrick Ngugi Njoroge to be the next Central Bank Governor.
Let’s first get some basics right, by playing the tribal card.
Of the 22 Kenyans who applied for that position, only 4 were Luos – Bunge Aggrey Otieno representing the great Homa Bay County, Frederick Odhiambo Otieno, carrying the flag of Siaya (the land of scholars), Kisumu County had John Hongo Randa doing duty for us, while the entire Nairobi County had only one applicant in the form, and shape, of Michael Isaac Ombuoro.
Four Luos sticking their necks out for a position many have come to associate with the tribe in power.
I want to tell you that I know many qualified members of the Luo community whom I expected to see their names, but, for reasons only known to them, chose not to bother apply.
The Luhyia Nation fared even worse. There was not a single applicant from Kakamega, Vihiga, and Bungoma Counties combined. Only Busia County decided to send little-known Nancy Oundo Dalla to the arena of financial management heavy-hitters. She, like the four Luos who had made the long walk to Nairobi, did not make it to the shortlisting stage.
Luo Nyanza and Western Province sent only a paltry 5 applicants none of which had a Doctorate Degree to fight it out with a carefully assembled team of 17 backed by the regime and papers to boot. When you send your soldiers on a war mission, you must cherry-pick the ripest of the bunch.
Compare that with what Central Kenya took to the battle-field. Murang’a County, alone, sent the most prolific of game-changers to that pool of applicants, all with at least a doctorate degree – Dr. Patrick Ngugi Njoroge, Dr. Rose Wanjiru Ngugi, Dr. Peninah Wanjira Kariuki, and Prof. Kinandu Muragu.
There was no way the Murang’a team was going to lose out to that list of 5 jokers up there.
Even good-old-forsaken Samburu County, with all the pestilence and clan hatred, looked around from their lean pool of scholars and found a certain Dr. Haron Sirima. It is no-brainer that when the list of 5 shortlisted candidates were out, all of them had a doctorate degree and above.
You know what? We can choose to vomit sludge online accusing Uhuru Kenyatta of being a tribal bigot, but on this one, the tribal critics have got it all wrong. I want to ask my people. That the next time there is a government vacancy and you have the feeling you fit the bill, try send you CV in, regardless of who is in the interviewing panel. We know you are learned, so why not show your papers where they are needed the most? My late grandfather told me that you miss 100% of the shots you didn’t take.
But what do I know?[/quote] "😖😡KQ makes money for everyone except the shareholder 😏😏 " overheard in Wazua

Jesus its not about tribe...from today,s Nation...and what I said yesterday,the bets from media polls,analysts and those privy to the selection was that Dr.Haron Sirma would be the next governor..."Those who swore by his likelihood to be the next CBK chief cited his almost 30 years experience at the institution and his track record since he became deputy at a time when the local currency was at its lowest"... possunt quia posse videntur

Do you serve muratina? I guess we'll be celebrating because Dr. Ngugi will be sending part of his paycheck to us every month. Surely 40+ comments za wivu tu.

Congratulations to the Dr. Muratina will be there in plenty…hata busaa ukitaka, I will make some arrangements. I know someone like guka prefers a homogeneous mixture of karubu and muratina in a time like this… I understand Njoroge has detailed files of all his 10 million tribesmen stashed somewhere in a cabinet in one of his safes in his bedroom. I bet the advance is on its way. @Bigchick...chai ya maziwa ya kuku iko mingi. @Atalaku...mhogo. @McReggae...changaa and samak chungu mzima. @Angelica...the choice is yours. @Harrydre...matumbo boilo and intestines choma.

Reminds me of the popular "haves and have nots". So many of us are fighting for and or against Dr Njoroge just because his name resonates or does not resonate with our narrow minds and expectations. By the end of the day, life goes on - bills to be paid, kids to school, come to Wazua, share your narrow mindedness and whine as you express your frustrations etc. Sad that people who have gone to school, well traveled and been fairly exposed to diversity are at the fore front of fighting for the tribal linkages in all appointments even when its clear that its been based on merit. I know so many Kikuyu's who wake up and pray that they get a meal for the day (with UK in state house)and I also know so many others (non-Kikuyu's) who have access to everything courtesy of the ruling elite. We have to stop the tendency to base any appointments to the tribe. Personally, I think UK has tried to balance. I also think CBK needed fresh thinking but also required institutional knowledge that Dr Sirima has hence the balancing act. Let the man do his job. "You've never lived until you've almost died; for those who have fought for it, life has a flavour the protected will never know."

Is a PHD mandatory for the job? Cheserem did a good job under difficult circumstances though he was a CPA. Truth forever on the scaffold

Cheserem did a good job under difficult circumstances though he was a CPA. We are no longer in the 90s. Nowadays a PhD is the basic minimum. A CPA can only get you a job as a tea boy or messenger huko CBK.

That's his weakness right there. Remember Goldenberg? I wouldn't trust a career civil servant as far as I can throw him. "Occasionally I drop a tea cup to shatter on the floor. On purpose. I am not satisfied when it does not gather itself up again. Someday perhaps that cup will come together."
