Kenya: Media Council of Kenya – Media Coverage of the Alleged Police Raid at Former Cabinet Secretary Dr Matiangi’s House Failed Kenyans (06.03.2023)





“Musalia Mudavadi with his wife, Tessie Musalia at the launch of the Office of the Spouse to the Prime Cabinet Secretary. Tessie Musalia assumed the newly created Office of the Spouse of the Prime Cabinet Secretary following its launch by her husband, Musalia Mudavadi, on Friday, February 24” (Kenyans.co.ke, 25.02.2023).
We have seen the establishing of the Office of the First Daughter earlier in the year. This week we are seeing an extension of that, as Mudavadi has established an office for his wife, the Office of the Spouse. We can just wonder is up next.
Certainly, it doesn’t take much creativity or ability to create new offices with little to no mandates. They just exists because of relations, family ties and sowed oats. Well, the Office of the First Lady is given and so is the Second Lady, the lady of the Deputy President. While there is others who could be fixed offices for too.
There are enough slay-queens, sugar-babies and side-dishes that wants their piece of the pie. They want to be recognized too. Instead of just being the sloppy seconds of the high ranking officials. These people also wants an easy pay-day and if they don’t… they can easily expose and tarnish the reputation of a representative of the people. A supposed family man who abides by family values, but has a nookie on the side.
While those are easier to come by and are a part of the metropolitan lifestyle. We can just beg to wonder when the sons and the other kids get their cut. Especially, if they want to safeguard and ring-fence their families involvement in politics. I’m just silently waiting for the Office of the Bastard Child or the Kid out of Wedlock. It just have to appear eventually and without a shadow of doubt, because they got to acknowledge it. Especially, if the side-dishes or slay-queens starts leaking the tea.
We just have to wait and see, but this is all just a waste of government resources. This is feeding the in-laws, the inner families of the elites and creating offices, which has no initial mandate or reason to be operative. It is busy-bodies and not particularly clever either. It isn’t even shielding the nepotism or the in-side trading of it. Since it is giving a hefty salary and a budget without any sort of strings. Because, what sort of strings can you pull on your daughter or your wife? Not to much, especially, if you want peace in your household. That’s why you have never head about any issues between the President or the Minister of Education in Kampala. They are bedmates and it shows…
The same will linger over these offices. It will be huge wasteland of nothingness and diddly to show for it. Peace.
