Governor Isaac Rutto gets SUPER GLOBAL appointment

Council of Governors outgoing chairman Isaac Ruto is headed to a global body on devolved governments after leading governors for two non-renewable terms. Mr Ruto will be the focal person for Africa in the United Nations for sub-regional governments, a body based in Colombia, Latin America, that enhances sharing experiences on running of counties. h-e-isaac-ruto-egh.jpg The body had representatives in the just-concluded second devolution conference in Kisumu. From Africa, Nigeria and Ghana are some of the members of the organisation The chairman was, however, not willing to give details of the appointment. “I’m sure an announcement will be made at an appropriate time if that happens,” he said. The association brings together all countries with one form of decentralised government or other. The position will hand the governor another lifeline. As Council of Governors chair, Mr Ruto robustly took on the national government and particularly Deputy President William Ruto as a champion for devolution. The position will also help him keep the kind of public presence he needs ahead of the 2017 elections. At the same time, intense lobbying is going on among governors on who to succeed Mr Ruto.

I ran along the pavement, and came upon a mighty man, who appeared to be adjusting his trousers. He yanked his belt and thrust one whip towards me. I had encountered Beast himself. He was tall, imposing, burly and endowed with a thunderous voice that could re...

Political Tumbocrats

*Political Tumbocrats* A political tumbocrat is a person who hangs around elected leaders to satisfy her/his personal greed. Tumbocrats sees a leader as a demigod whom they worship. The r bootlickers and sycophants of the highest order. Their work is to defend leaders and cheat public that something is happening. A tumbocrat has no values or morals. A tumbocrat is not interested with common good but personal good. A tumbocrat has no vision but appetite for being near high table of power  and feeding on crumbs.   Tumbocrats are greatest obstacles to development in our country. They protect the corrupt and shield the bad governance in so far as they get something to fill their tumbos.
