Can we start by looking at the job description of a county Governor? Why do you think that a county governor should be a flower girl or an usher? All social skills but zero management or leadership?
What skillset do you need your leader to have? Being most electable doesn't mean the best!
Which is the right decision between moving the inland port from Naivasha to Mombasa? What factors do you take into consideration? Why? What's the long term impact of that decision? How does it affect other sectors as road transport? Traffic ?
Chief you must be from Saturn. Since when did a recruitment process be so fool proof that we can claim to be able to know that a person can withstand adversity and lead from the front?
There is competency based interviews, aptitude tests and other methods. They are not fool proof but can tell you a lot about a candidate.
If you proposed this kind of systematic approach you would be called an elitist bujua-zee
. That hasoras must be allowed to run ministries.
There's only been 8 prime ministers out of 59 without a degree in Britain. Winston Churchill had an IQ of 150. The other 6 actually did go to either Oxford or Cambridge University but did not graduate. Look at their current government, 99% of them attended prestigious universities in Britain.
Okiya Omtata has won several constitutional and public interest law cases without that professional degree. My main concern is that You can't have a person with a certificate in MSword managing Masters fellows and PhDs. Otherwise you will be having the scenario of a Sonko kind of leadership, where he felt threatened when his CEC were getting media attention due to the contents of their brains rather than brown envelope inducement.
Okiya was presenting his case, he is not allowed to represent clients before the court. The lawyering system is so protectionist that we mortals are not allowed to form law firms. A law firm must be a partnership of lawyers to keep us to riff raff away. You can't create an innovative venture like you could do in medical field by hiring those damned layers. It's a cartel! No wonder most high profile jobs in Kenya are reserved for those protectionist morons! That's a rant for another day!
