One of Kibaki’s enduring legacies is that he knew and understood how to deal with his shamed and disgraced friends.
It is said that if someone in his Government was adversely mentioned over corruption or criminality, he would quietly summon them and ask them to resign. If they were later cleared off of wrongdoing, he would give them a back-room job away from the public gaze.
This, by the way, is the best practice adopted by advanced Economies.
Kenya Kwisha’s move to give Maribe a lofty State job where she will be the face and voice of the Government is in very poor taste, and very ill advised.
This is someone who has just escaped the hangman’s noose simply by some technicality for a vicious murder.
It should also not be forgotten that Maribe has never publicly denounced her partner-in-crime who has been made to carry the can.
Why would anyone choose such a divisive character for such a visible role?
How will the Victim’s family, friends and community think each and every time Maribe appears on TV and Podiums with the Notables?
Even if this Government feels so powerful and confident, why rub our noses with “mta do nini”? attitude?
