This blogger’s advice to the Finance Minister is to watch what he says lest he is forced to eat humble pie. This blogger has absolutely no doubt about Kimunya’s impeccable credentials as Finance Mandarin. Absolutely, no doubt.
But Kimunya has failed on the Anglo Leasing nightmare that keeps this government wishing it was a dream which it can wish away. But he forgets that it was that issue that sent home packing his predecessor at Treasury.
Kimunya has been challenged from different quarters to come clean on the issue of pending Promissory Notes to assorted Anglo Leasing type contracts whose payments are due.
At a past press conference, he held papers said to be the Notes stating that the Irrevocable Promissory Notes had now been returned and revoked altogether. Obviously, he couldn’t say who had returned the notes and when they had been returned. When he was asked to table them in Parliament, he said that he couldn’t since there is an ongoing investigation. Hello! Am I missing something?
Besides that, he insists that Kenya owes only Ksh25B while the Auditor General says the debt stands at Ksh56B after his investigations!
Either Kimunya takes Kenyans to be so gullible they can take his words hook line and sinker, or he has clearly lost it. Methinks, its both.
