Veteran Nakuru politician Koigi Wa Wamwere has poked holes into President Uhuru Kenyatta's recent parastatal nominations, terming them as disadvantageous.
The President, in a gazette notice on Friday appointed among others former police boss David Kimaiyo to head the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) board, a move Koigi faulted.
He said the President is recycling state officers who 'failed' to deliver in their former jobs.
"What is being done is the recycling of former officials and once again incorporating them into the government. This is likely to further contribute to the continuation of some of our current shortcomings," he said.
He advised the Jubilee government to consider bringing in new faces, to incorporate new skills that can help it deliver on its preelection agenda.
"To better the nation and its performance, the government has to consider new and fresh individuals for these positions but since that is not the case, Kenyans should not expect anything new," he added.
Others appointed are former Attorney General Githu Muigai who will head the Council of Legal Education and former Karachuonyo lawmaker James Rege as the chair of the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company Limited (KENTRACO) board of governors.
