leadership

We are told that leadership is serviceship but in our institutions this term is misused, wearing gumboots and building fake buildings that is not serviceship its just lowering the dignity and destroy the images of the institutions.

The current world needs corrupt free environment and courageous leaders not leaders who run away from responsibilities just passing outside the fence instead of facing the reality of what is on the ground.

Leadership starts from home in the family if you are stressing your family until even people realize then watch out. Just pleasing visitors while on the ground there is nothing that is not leadership. Just humble yourself and you will be lifted lift yourself you will be lowered down.

The love of money is the root of evil our leaders love money as compared to life of other individuals one can't appreciate what one has done to an organization. when such a person dies it is laughter to a foolish leader who doesn't value the work that one has done instead he puts money forward than anything else.

If that is the way to lead then we are death.

WE LIVE IN FEAR OF DICTATORS

Mugabe the learned but useless figure to his people

ruled the West African nation with an iron fist for 24 years, has died after a reign marked by brutal repression in a mineral-rich country that is nevertheless ranked among the world's poorest

the most ruthless man in East Africa in those days

WHAT IS IT

In the world we are living we are faced with many challenges that may hinder us from getting the best opportunity that we dream of. These ones are there and you cannot avoid them, the moment you try to avoid them may be through smoking, drinking the more they come.

For example if you engage in either drinking or smoking you become a slave to this things and you are hooked up in whole of your life not unless you change. I have seen many who are slaves of these two things, someone said "When my mother brought me to the world she gave me these as my first food.

Where will you head to after the use of the drugs, you know you will be a nuisance to yourself and to the society. How many young people who have turned to robbery and harlotly just because of drugs. We have lost many intelligent minds who could have helped to build a better country. What is happening to the youths? are they be witched? of course some may conclude like that. But the essence remains the same its the influence created by the Parents who are suppose

The story of a donkey

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well.
The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway;
it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him.
They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.
At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly.
Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw.
With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing.
He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal,
he would shake it off and take a step up.
Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey
stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!

MORAL :

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt.
The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up.
Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT DON'T NEGLECT IT DEAR

Education plays an important role in the progress of an individual’s mind and country. Ignorance and poverty are major speed-breakers in the swift developing country and can be overcome easily through education. You can’t call yourself educated if you can read and write, get full marks in every subject and can recite Shakespeare’s sonnets by heart. A person who is educated has a certain aura around him, of dignity and wisdom. If you are educated, you don’t need to abide by the facts that the book recites, or follow Aristotle’s philosophy. An educated person builds on the facts the book says and has his own philosophy. If you are educated, you can’t have a wrong philosophy. Education is everything. People are made aware of what is going on in the wide world and can understand these issues and take necessary measures. If people are educated, it is not difficult to find a job- keeping in mind the fact that no job is low. Education tames the astray mind, nurturing its capabilities the same way training builds a clever dog.
Do you think any country will ever look back if the people are fully educated, have some income to support their family, are aware of the happening in the world, and contribute to the country’s development? If you think it will look back, dear reader, you need education.

PATIENCE PAYS

Once upon a time there lived a farmer who had only one duck and this duck was wonderful to him. Do you know why? it used to lay gold eggs. You mighty think of somebody who has gold how rich he is, a millionaire,

But unfortunately this farmer was stupid, he wanted to become rich quickly. What do you think he should do? One morning he got hold of the duck and squeezed it so as to get more gold. As you know a duck lays one egg everyday but the farmer was impatient with this.

The next minute the duck being squeezed it died. ooh!! How sad is this?.

Many at times we are faced with the same challenges as this farmer the little resources we have, however little they may help us we should be we should be patient enough.

We want to be rich overnight through stealing where will we get no way out.Take your time to think critically for we may land where we never thought, the poverty we are trying to elevate it goes out slowly each day we make an important step let's be patient for patience pays if you dont you are lost forever.

The New grand coalition cabinet.

smiling but what is behind their minds and hearts you cannot preditct so lets take care for now.

The small kenyans brains cannot be able to understand this, but how i wish kenyans had a big mind to think. The ministries you call strong its not strong the way it seems to you, the strong and excellent ministries you should fight for are development oriented ministries:

Agriculture

Local government

Lands

Water and irrigation

Roads

Fisheries

Industrialization

Medical

education

science and Technology

I pity kenyans who are the tax payers for things may be expensive but for the start let's have peace and settle back then we can think of powerful ministries later.

SUPPRISES

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."

SPEECH BY PRESIDENT MWAI KIBAKI DURING THE OFFICIAL RELEASE OF

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION RESULTS FOR PUBLIC AGENCIES

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am pleased to once again preside over this event for the official announcement of the results of

evaluation of the performance of our public service institutions.

The occasion brings us together to recognize and applaud those public service managers who

have demonstrated outstanding performance in the delivery of services to the public. In doing so,

we are also presenting a challenge as well as a reminder to those public service managers whose

performance remains below acceptable levels that the taxpayer cannot continue to sustain them

in office.

Over the past five years, we made it clear that the efficiency of the public sector is a critical

component of economic development. In order for us to achieve our goal of national

development and to improve the living standards of our people, it is critical that we enhance the

efficiency of public service institutions.

It is on the basis of this recognition that in 2003, I directed the public service to implement

performance contracts as a management framework intended to improve the performance of

Ministries and State Corporations. The implementation of performance contracting is, therefore,

a deliberate strategy to turn around the performance of the public service, in order to lay the

foundation for accelerated economic development and improved standards of living for our

people.

I am glad to note that the implementation of Performance Contracts has impacted positively on

all the productive sectors of the economy. In particular, the enormous increases in tax revenue

collection, is enabling the government to speed-up and expand provision of essential social

services and to implement key development programmes across the country.

These include free primary and secondary education, intensified construction of roads, increased

electricity connections, improved access to quality health care and increased food production as a

result of prompt and improved payments to farmers.

In addition to the widening of the tax base, the improvement in tax collection is also a reflection

of increasing willingness to pay taxes, and by extension, reduction in tax evasion and tax

avoidance. Perhaps more significant, the willingness to pay taxes is also an indication of

increased trust and confidence in the Government. Indeed, the process of performance

contracting has not only resulted in improved economic performance, but it has also won our

country admiration at the international level.

Last year, for example, and on the strength of performance contracts, our country scooped the

prestigious United Nations Public Service Award in the first category of transparency,

accountability and responsiveness in public service delivery. Further, our performance

contracting was also placed among the top 20 innovations in the world in the “IBM Award for

Innovations in Transforming Government”. The award is administered by the Ash Institute for

Democratic Governance and Innovation at Harvard University. These are remarkable

achievements that should be applauded by all patriotic Kenyans because they have restored the

respect and dignity of our public service.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The improved performance we have recorded and the accolades we have won are the result of

the hard work of our Public Servants. I personally commend these hard working public servants,

and wish to assure them that my Government does not take their service to the nation for granted.

It is for this reason that my Government is determined to complete the phased harmonization of

salaries for public servants whose implementation began in 2002. It is worth noting that this

phased system recorded an average salary increase of 127 percent between 2003 and 2007.

To further motivate our public servants, I wish to announce that my Government will begin to

roll out an incentives system based on the results that will be released today to reward excellent

performance.

I have accordingly directed the Minister for Finance to make arrangements to provide for

incentives to public servants in ministries, departments and public institutions which do not

generate revenue. I have further directed the Minister for Finance to authorize revenue

generating public institutions to pay their performing employees on the basis of a formula which

has been developed by the Ministry of Finance. These incentives will, this first year, be paid to

employees in the three best performing institutions, and only to the top performers in these

institutions.

All public institutions will henceforth be required to fully comply with the new system to ensure

equal incentives for equal performance irrespective of whether a public institution is generating

revenue, regulating or giving service. Moreover, the citizen’s service delivery charter, which is a

key performance indicator in public service performance contracts, is now in the process of

being cascaded to grassroots public institutions to ensure that services are delivered efficiently.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

My Government focused the past five years on laying a firm foundation for the next phase of the

development agenda. This next phase that will be implemented by the Grand Coalition

Government will be realized through the implementation of the VISION TWENTY THIRTY

beginning this year. The VISION TWENTY THIRTY will be implemented against the backdrop

of the successes in the implementation of the Economic Recovery Strategy for Wealth and

Employment Creation. Under Vision Twenty-Thirty, we intend to achieve an ambitious set of

goals which will require hard work and focus among all Kenyans and especially among public

servants. These goals include:

1. Sustaining the free primary and secondary education;

2. Provision of clean water for all;

3. Provision of affordable health services for all;

4. Intensified infrastructure development;

5. Continued revival of industries and establishment of new ones;

6. And progressive increase in economic growth, among others.

I wish to reiterate that it is in the long-term interest of the people of Kenya to fully internalize the

culture of performance contracting and particularly the citizen’s service delivery charter.

This will empower them to demand and to receive high quality service from all holders of public

offices. A citizen thus empowered, will be able to demand that all other holders of public office,

including the legislature, the judiciary, constitutional offices and the teaching fraternity are made

accountable for results. To meet the expectations of the people, I urge all holders of public

offices to cultivate a culture of hard work, integrity, innovation and meritocracy. It is only in this

way that we shall also be able to compete at the global arena.

As I conclude, I wish to recognize and to personally thank the experts who negotiated

performance contracts, evaluated performance and moderated performance evaluation results.

These, as you are aware, are professional men and women drawn from the private sector, which

is a clear manifestation of my Government’s commitment to strengthen public-private

partnership.

Finally, I wish to commend all those who have worked tirelessly and selflessly to steer the

performance contracting process from its inception to the success we are celebrating today. In

this regard, I applaud the Performance Contracts Secretariat for the successful and excellent

coordination of the process.

With these remarks, ladies and gentlemen, it is now my pleasure to recognize the top public

service performers, and to present them with awards for their exemplary performance.
