FRANCIS MUTHAURA APPOINTMENT BY UHURU KENYATTA GETS BACKING
TOP LEADERS BACK FRANCIS MUTHAURA APPOINTMENT
adapted from DAILY NATION ...Nyeri County leaders have defended President Uhuru Kenyatta’s appointment of Francis Muthaura as Chairman of Lamu Port Southern Sudan Ethiopia Transport LAPSSET corridor development Authority
Nyeri County leaders have defended President
Kenyatta’s appointment of parastatal heads, including former head of
Civil Service Francis Muthaura.
Former Nyeri deputy
mayor Grace Wanyeki said Mr Muthaura is being criticised for nothing,
adding that President Kenyatta’s appointments should be respected.
Mr Muthaura was appointed chairman of the Lamu Port Southern Sudan Ethiopia Transport (Lapsset) Corridor Development Authority.
“I wonder why young leaders are criticising President Kenyatta for appointing Mr Muthaura to head a parastatal given his age.
Being old is not a disease because God is using people like them to be role models to youths,” said Ms Wanyeki.
She said the former ambassador is ideal for the post because of his vast experience.
Ahadi Kenya Trust chief executive officer Stanley Kamau said those who oppose Mr Muthaura’s appointment are wayward.
Speaking
during an end-of year party for the elderly in the county, Dr Kamau
urged politicians to put aside their differences and work together for
the nation’s good.
“I applaud the President’s decision
to bring Mr Muthaura back to the government as his experience is no
doubt vast and the Lappset project will come to pass as intended,” said
Dr Kamau said.
However, Bishop Beneah Salala of the
Anglican Church Mumias Diocese Wednesday took issue with President
Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto over the controversial
appointments to parastatals.
In his New Year message,
Bishop Salala said the move to recycle the old guard and appoint them to
key government positions was ill-advised.
He called
upon the Head of State to rescind the appointments and give youths a
chance to demonstrate their abilities to lead state corporations.
