Cabinet Unity Important

If there is one thing that Kenyans are really tired of, then it is the constant politicking that has messed the country and nearly derailed the development process. Now that the new look Kenyan cabinet has started working as a unit, there are all the signs that it will be able to achieve much and perhaps usher in an era of development.

Let us hope that Kenyans will get the services they deserve. Our eyes are focused on the cabinet. In the meantime, all Kenyans should continue working hard as they have always done.

Commitment to dialogue welcome

The picture of Langata MP Raila Odinga and President Mwai Kibaki shaking hands during a break at a recent meeting shows that dialogue has been given a new lease of life. It is Raila, who keen to make amends with the president, went out of his way to get the president's ear. Certainly, this is not the same Raila who at one time was making a plethora of demands and calling for snap elections. This is a peaceful new look Raila. He has seen that what Kenyans want is dialogue and peace and not sabre-rattling.

Let us hope that with this, Kenyans will learn that politics is a game of give and take. Let us put aside our political differences and develop Kenya.
