Drama: RailaUhuru List Of Advisors To Lead Handshake Peace Initiative Thrashed, Not Representative Enough

By Paul Musyimi

In my view, the list of the appointed Advisors is rather wanting in the following ten (10) respects:-

1. It does not meet the 30% Gender threshold: *out of 14 Members, only 3 are women.*

2. There is *zero representation of youths.* None of the people in that list is under 40 years.

3. *Some communities are not represented at all in that list,* for instance, there is no Indian in that list while other communities have more than one Advisor.

4. *Muslim religious leaders have not been represented at all.*

5. *The list includes so many Members of Tribal Councils of Elders* including GEMA when we know the main stay of most of these groups is tribalism.

6. *There are no representatives of special interest groups* such as media, labour, private sector, professionals and civil society.

7. Some of the *Old KANU stalwarts/sycophants* like Amos Wako and Yusuf Haji have nothing knew to bring to the table.

8. I stand to be corrected but *do we have a representative of people living with disabilities in that list?*

9. *Kenyans living in diaspora make a huge contribution to our unity and disunity as a country,* why weren’t one or two included to bring new perspective?

10. Counties are key pillars in building bridges, *how come we don’t have representatives of Council of Governors and Members of County Assemblies?*
