Dear All:
I stand to be corrected.
The fact that the Fourth Schedule
lumps Transport & Communications together does not in any way mean that you
will have a Transport & Communication Ministry. From the policy
perspective it simply means that that function will be exercised by the
national government, not the sub-national one. How it is put together should
be a question of how effectively they are aligned.
My two cents.
Kind regards

Thanx Grace for the clarification- the lawyer in you ;-)
Do we really have a chance to discuss the
Ministries. Under Article 185(1) as read with the
Fourth Schedule, it is provided that the National Government will have a
Transport and Communications function which will deal with the following: (a)
road traffic; (b) the construction and operation of national
trunk roads; (c) standards for the construction and maintenance of other
roads; (d) railways; (e) pipelines; (f) marine navigation; (g) civil
aviation; (h) space travel; (i) postal services; (j) telecommunications; and
(k) radio and television broadcasting. rgds, Grace On 1 September 2010 15:58, Pamela <pamela@cardiacimplants.com>

all, The
way I would approach this would be to look at various services and then try
to put the ministries in the relevant portfolio. Right away I can think of: 1.
Health Services (includes human & animal’s health) 2.
Educational Services 3.
Communication/Information Services 4.
Security Services 5.
Infrastructure 6.
Energy Services 7.
Financial Services (includes trade, planning) 8.
Social Services (this would include, sports, cultural, welfare, …etc) 9.
Foreign affairs 10. Farm &
Agricultural Services (whether it is cows, sukuma, fish, coffees,
silkworms ….. etc) 11. Environment
and Natural resources 12. Legal
Services 13. Lands
Services 14. DPM And you may add, Question, is
there need for a local government Ministry in this new dispensation, I am
also glad to see that it is a maximum of 22, meaning we can have even 10
Ministries!!! My thoughts on this cold
desk!! Pamela From: kictanet-bounces+pamela=cardiacimplants.com@lists.kictanet.or.ke
