[kictanet] Three candidates shortlisted in race for top CCK post

[Odhiambo Washington]

Hahaa, Robert. I do think the lawyers are best used as legal officers
within the organization. However, CCK is better headed by a technical
fellow. Technical people will get the lawyers to address the legalese.
Having a lawyer to head, say, Safaricom, wouldn't wash, for sure. Having a
lawyer to head an organization that will oversee the likes of Safaricom,
etc will only serve to make technical issues take a political direction.
Lawyers argue too much:-)


About challenging that decision in court, that is a nice one! Kenyans have
now started getting accustomed to a constitution that allows them to
challenge any decision. Since the Presidency changed from being "above the
law", to being under it, the sky is the limit.
