"I know the majority of the people in Spain love Messi."
What we are seeing now is what was predicted in the Waki Commission Report, the Kriegler Commission Report, the Kofi Annan Mediation โ Kenya National Dialogue and Reconciliation (KNDR, 2008โ2013) and the TJRC Report (2008โ2013). We must stop this before it gets out of hand
Funny political operatives should never be able to walk into a national fuel crisis meeting and appear to chair, direct or control it, because once that becomes normal, the country is no longer being governed through constitutional offices but through informal power, proximity to the President and political errands that no Kenyan can audit.
This is not a small matter of optics or personalities. It goes to the heart of how public power is exercised in Kenya.
When a crisis touches fuel prices, transport, schools, police deployment, protests and the daily survival of millions of citizens, the chain of command must be visible, lawful and accountable.
Kenyans must know who called the meeting, who attended, in what official capacity they attended, what decisions were made, who gave instructions and who will carry responsibility if those decisions harm the public.
Parliament foresaw the danger of power being exercised without a record, and that is why parliamentary business leaves behind Hansard, committee minutes, order papers, reports, votes and formal proceedings.
You may dislike MPs, you may disagree with their conduct, and you may even believe Parliament has failed the country many times, but at least there is a public trail that allows citizens to go back and see who said what, who supported what, who opposed what and who must be held responsible.
Government crisis meetings should also leave a formal record, especially when they concern matters as serious as fuel, transport, police action and public unrest.
This does not mean every sensitive security detail must be thrown into the public domain, but there must be official attendance records, minutes, decision notes and lawful authority attached to the people in the room, so that strangers, political handlers, advisers or presidential errand boys do not exercise state power in darkness and then vanish when consequences arrive.
Fuel is not a PR problem. It is an economic crisis that affects food prices, school movement, business costs, transport fares and the general mood of the country. If Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries, police commanders, energy officials, Treasury officials and transport sector players meet over it, Kenyans deserve to know the official structure of that meeting and the lawful basis of every instruction issued from it.
A country cannot be run through whispers, side rooms, unofficial actors and vague orders from above.
That is how shadow government grows around the formal government, until elected and appointed officials become decorations while unelected men with access become the real machinery of power.
Power without record is dangerous because it cannot be questioned properly, and power without office is even more dangerous because it allows people who carry no constitutional burden to influence decisions that affect millions of lives.
If someone is chairing a public crisis meeting, let their title be known. If they are making decisions, let the law show where that authority comes from. If they are merely advising, let them sit where advisers sit, not where accountable officials sit.
The fuel crisis has exposed something bigger than prices.
It has exposed the informal architecture of power around this government, and unless Kenyans insist on records, titles, minutes and accountability, tomorrow anyone with access to State House can walk into a public crisis, speak with borrowed authority, intimidate officials, direct outcomes and disappear when the country starts burning.
