The Room of two contradicting speeches

The miss link in communication in the Government as a unit is a puzzle.

President William Ruto was today on May 3, expected to address the nation on the state of the nation in regard to the flood.
Just before the President addressed the nation, there was a memo circulating already of how the school reopening would go on as planned.
The Ministry of Education while addressing the safety of the learners through the memo directed that the School Board of Management to ensure that the learners are ready for learning and precautionary measures are undertaken to avoid hindrances.
Later, two hours after the memo, the President addressed the nation and ordered that the postponement of school reopening be suspended until further notice.
Out of the impossible, the ministry of education seemed to be having the stand of opening schools.
The Education Cabinet Secretary seems to be under pressure when he was releasing the memo since the last was released on the wee hours of the morning hence today's early communication was to avoid further pressure from the parliamentarians and the public uproar.

The contradictory statements from two high profile leaders whereas one is greater than the other tells a lot from the Government's boardroom.
The junior speaking different from the boss speech, yet they are directing their message towards one audience.

The current scenario is akin to that of March 2020 when the country had all its learning institutions shutdown and learning suspended following the entrance and reported cases of COVID-19.
The former regime never had this form of gainsaying in either of the speech.
The Education Cabinet Secretary by then, the late Professor George Magoha never delivered a speech contradicting that of his boss, the President emeritus Uhuru Kenyatta. 
As a way of not brewing any sense of confusion, the former CS never delivered any form of communication when the president was to address the nation, I think this is because every matter was to be addressed in the President's speech.

In any entity, communication is the key. It is through communication that the public earn the trust of the leaders. This can explicitly referenced to previous untimely communication that led to a section of students going to school while other going to their beds waiting to begin their journey to school only for the circular to be released at 1.am, when the school going children are asleep, this also owing to the fact that in media industry as per the regulation by the government only adults are allowed to stay awake due to content broadcasted past 10.pm.
The previous communication disappointed the parents, students and even the school staff as they had assumably prepared for the reopening, we cannot also forget to speak of the reprieve that was in the parents side as they may have been worried about the state of the nation.
The parallel messages from the Government within a span of hours, clearly indicates that each department is working on its own without consulting each other.
Did Mr. Machogu know that His Excellency was going to suspend the postponement of the school opening until further notice?
Why was Mr. Machogu in hurry to release a memo yet hours later the president would come and clarify the same issue he was addressing?
Why did they not consult each other, or is it that someone came behind and offered a piece of advice as opposed to the earlier agreed solution?

Communication is important in critical moments, especially at these moments when the country is marooned with deluge.

THE UNSINKABLE THAT SUNK

By Glen Don  112 YEARS GONE  In the Atlantic ocean one of the horrible things happened. Lives were lost, property of invaluable destroyed and other belongings got lost. It is exactly a hundred and twelve years since 'The Unsinkable' sunk and never to be resurfaced on water or on earth. The Titanic ship during the time would be the largest ship on earth to be ever built, The Titanic ship during its era of the launch was the largest in the world. The ship's capacity is said to be possibly 3,300 while those who were on board is said to be about 2,000 and of those who boarded only thirty two percent survived the shipwreck.

The ship sunk down the ocean when it ...

TAXING FOREIGN SOAP OPERAS

By: Glen Don OPINION DERIVED FROM ITUMBI'S SPEECH DURING KENYA FILM SUMMIT AT CINEMA HALL.  Tax forms the crux of the governance. In fact no tax Government cannot run its daily activities. Tax is like an engine of the Government. Who will pay employees, what will improve the infrastructure leave alone building infrastructural facilities? How will 'Wanjiku' cross the river if the bridge is not erected over it? The Government collects taxes to runs its activities in all sectors and tax is money levied by the government from various commodities and services. Recently, tax imposition has become more punitive to common citizens. They lament over heavy taxes day in day out, only for the Government to intervene and have mercy on them, but there tears are drop of water in the ocean. Tears that does not even quake. But time is now, when citizens are questioning the system being used by the government when imposing taxes.  The previous regime was vilified for the taxation and high co...
