[kictanet] R.I.P. John Michuki

[Josphat Kabinga]

I think this is stupid. Stupid indeed if we have to look for the negative side of every good thing even if it means manufacturing some...negatives where they do not exist. OW...you mean the late Hero implemented the public transport reform policies so as to sell seat belts and other items? I thought he had other income generating business that dd not require "seat belt" monies. On this one I must say you are behaving childish and it is unfortunate that you have choosen this public platform to say bad things about a departed hero. I am sure you would not say this to other "heros" and therfore I read other things! Too bad! Lets use this platform in a better way. JKW.

There is really nothing like Hon. Michuki streamlined the transport industry. This is a misconception that everyone seems to fall for. What he did was a short-term act of bravado, well calculated to make him and his friend reap profits from the sale of seatbelts and speed governors. There was no real political will to streamline the sector in the long term otherwise stringent laws would have been formulated to the effect. Where are the "Michuki Rules" and why are they not being enforced anymore?
How many vehicles have seatbelts/speed governors that work? Michuki and his friends made their money in the name of "fixing the transport sector". If you ask me, that "fixing" required much more that he pretended to do, as you can see already. Kenyans are still left singing (yearning) for "Michuki Rules". I remember what some hopeless Minister said about the rules when this minister was in that docket.
Besides that, I'd like to borrow from the Mars Group this one: http://www.marsgroupkenya.org/multimedia/?StoryID=307363

Why anyone (bar for his family and close friends) would miss Michuki still beats me.
