Transport CS James Macharia. [Photo| Nation]Kenyans have expressed mixed reactions after President Uhuru Kenyatta on Friday named part of his cabinet and retained six cabinet secretaries.Those retained include Fred Matiang'i (Education and Interior Coordination), Joe Mucheru (ICT), James Macharia (Transport), Henry Rotich (Treasury), Charles Keter (Energy) and Najib Balala (Tourism).Of the six, a section of Kenyans took issue with the retention of CS Macharia whom they blamed of the recent accidents that have been witnessed in the country which have claimed over 100 lives. Below are some responses sampled from twitter:@itsnjosh: President Uhuru retains James Macharia as CS after "overseeing" worst road carnage in Kenyan history ? Who bewitched Kenya ?@gathura_jidrafff: ..........trying to understand how President Uhuru Kenyatta retained James Macharia after the many accidents experienced........@pilotDouglas: President uhuru decision to retain Macharia appears myopic. However, the other positions are quite okay.President Uhuru retain James Macharia in his cabinet. Seriously after all we have witnessed in the Transport sector?@jumaf3: The retaining of James Macharia as Cabinet Secretary for Transport indeed shows thatPresident Kenyatta "means well for Kenyans" and we should "accept and move on".
@JNestroy: After Transport CS James Macharia oversaw and ensured thousands are killed in accidents to satisfy the blood thirsty Regime,illegitimate President Uhuru Kenyatta has retained him in the cabinet.@amerix: For James Macharia, it's all about business deals. Nothing about competency.@obegimalack: Kudos CS James Macharia for your performance, you have worked well in transport sector now you need to ban day time travel ! No more accidents.@NyaiLiverpudlia: I'm jubilee die-hard but I don't understand any merit that retains James macharia over Cs Adan Mohammed. Soo sad. Uhuru must think.@MikeDeeNganga: James Macharia is a BIG FLOP and UNINSPIRING as Jubilee supporters we feel betrayed @UKenyatta @WilliamsRuto We need@AMB_A_Mohammed back@benard_nderitu: If James Macharia is still CS for transport then @UKenyatta should also have recommended Githeri Man for a CS position
