I got the news of Martin Oduor-Otieno's appointment as the next CEO at KCB. Good news indeed in my opinion - smooth and indicates maybe KCB was grooming him for the position.
Whereas the position was advertised in the mass media and attracted interest from far and wide shows some element of professionalism in the board of KCB. This textbook - you do not have to be a genius you only need to have gone to school and had a couple of years of work experience to know that's all people are after. TRANSPARENCY.
And the 'politicians' are wondering why the appointment of CBK governor attracted so much controversy - sickening. I wonder what really happens when one becomes a government official - I mean as part of job description are they required to attract undue publicity (I should have used negative publicity instead). It is actually useless to go to school all these years and not be able to apply the basics in life. I'm not hating on the Government (though it is the easy way out) - it is the same everywhere - Look at GWB and the US congress. That's the only way one can defend the indefensible - someone remind me why I detest politics (or is it the politicians?). Enough, let take a walk.
The only reason I did not submit an application for the KCB CEO's position was because I was waiting for the CBK Governor's post. Now look at what's happened.
Congrats to the new guy at the helm of KCB - he's CV speaks for itself - so far we have not heard of any political maneuverings (which cannot be ruled out!). The 3 top banks with Kenyans at the helm - I wish the government would also be made up of Kenyans!
I guess I'm the only one who sees it like this - unless Robert Shaw has a different view.
