By now you might be aware that Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru resigned. This comes after all the allegations she's facing in her docket.

Just minutes after her resignation, I came across something I couldn't leave without sharing with you; a short skit from the hit TV drama show Scandal written by Pharis Kimaru a few days ago before the CS's resignation.

Read the interesting piece below;

Ann Waiguru is seated in Olivia Pope’s office. Her eyes are

wandering across the room. Olivia walks in sits down and

looks at her with stern eyes.

OLIVIA

What do you want?

WAIGURU

popeExcuse me?

OLIVIA

Its a question I ask all my clients

or people am negotiating with. I

already know the answer but I like

to hear them say it. What do you

want?

WAIGURU

I want to keep my job

OLIVIA

Thats not possible. Make another

choice.

WAIGURU

(Determinedly)

I want to keep my job.

OLIVIA

(In sharp tone)

What is wrong with you? There is no

way you are going to keep your job.

There is no scenario available in

which that is possible. Your little

rugby tweet made sure of that. You

will resign or you will be fired

its inevitable. Half of the country

thinks you are the Presidents

mistress the other does not know

what to think. The president’s

opponents are using you to hit at

him everyday and hurt his chances

of re-election. The only reason he

has not fired you is because he

does not want to be seen to be

taking orders from the opposition .

He already set a precedent by

suspending other ministers so you

need to accept the fact that you

will soon be jobless.

(Silence)

WAIGURU

Its not fair I am good at my job.

OLIVIA

(A look of dismay)

No you are not. How could you be?

You are smarter than this Ann.

Condom Dispensers! A Piano! You

cannot be good at your job and have

these things happen to you. It does

not matter whether procurement is

not your job..you must know when

these things happen. You must know

because you are a leader because

you are the boss…because its your

ass on the line; because its your

ministry and your people. You take

responsibility. That’s what leaders

do..you have been taking the

credit. You do not serve at Huduma

Centres but you take the credit and

the awards…you did not dig a

ditch in Kibera but you took the

credit so do not sit here and tell

me you are good at your job. One

last time: WHAT DO YOU WANT?

(SILENCE)

Olivia moves closer and looks her in the eyes.

(whispers)
