The parastatal appointments recently made by President Uhuru Kenyatta have elicited different reactions from leaders across the country.
The opposition, led by Raila Odinga, accused the president of recycling old leaders.
"The Jubilee appointment of former old guards in Mombasa is like giving bones to a dog,” said Raila during a burial ceremony in Kilifi.
In a quick rejoinder, Mr Noah Ngala on Sunday said it was not a sin to work with the government of the day.
"It is not my first time to be in government. Working with the government doesn't in any way affect one's political inclinations,” said Ngala, the newly appointed Kenya National Library Services chairman.
Ngala took issue with the habit of Cord criticising the government in funeral settings.
Aisha Jumwa, the Kilifi Women Representative criticised the appointments saying the move is aimed hoodwinking leaders to support Jubilee in next years election.
Kilifi North MP Gideon Munga'ro lashed out at the opposition, saying the leaders were consolidating their dwindling fortunes by spreading propaganda.
"When you see leaders using funerals to propagate lies, just know they lack an agenda and direction for Coast residents and the country in general,” said Mung'aro.
On his part, Jubilee Coast Coordinator Farid Swaleh criticised the appointments, claiming that President Kenyatta is recycling political rejects.
He said the appointment of former Labour Cabinet Secretary Kazungu Kambi and Ramadhan Kajembe should not have been made adding that Uhuru has failed to reward supporters who helped him during the 2013 general election.
