Ego Or Baseless Complaints? Nyambane Starts His Tenure At The Nairobi County Council By Pissing Off Everyone

For a long time now, Nyambane has been on the Ghafla radar for all the wrong reasons. So much so, that even while serving the people in the heartland of the Kisii people, he was informed about it and he tried to reach us. And we did indeed have a chat. You see the problem with reaching such important people is that they design their schedule such that you cannot reach them unless they want to reach you.

But away from the background to our relationship with Nyambane and now to the story at hand; So it is rumoured that Nyambane landed at the County Government headquarters in what used to be referred to as the Nairobi City Council (I refuse to even hint at it’s less classy, more tangible alternative name that rhymes with sheet).

And when he arrived there, he saw his office and wasn’t impressed at all. So he had all his subordinates squished together to create room for himself. But that is actually a good thing, forward thinking -they are now conserving heat in this cold bleak weather. Plus now that they are in each other’s space, they are getting better acquainted.

But I called up the comedian cum government bureaucrat cum entrepreneur up to get his side of the coin and this what he had to say to me:

“First off, what’s your name again? (Uncle Chim Tuna) Okey, Uncle Chim Tuna, let’s get this right, it’s the County Government, not the County Council.

Even if I were to change my bulb, some people would like it, some would not. There will always be people to complain about any change. And that is a story in public domain, I would rather talk about something more important. Something geared to keeping Nairobians informed because I can work anywhere. I don’t need 15metres to work.”

There in lies the science behind the title to the article. Is this a man focused on delivering -a goal oriented man who might have unwittingly stepped on his subordinates toes or is this a megalomaniac talking?

Personally, I do not mind him. Having spoken to him, he strikes me as a kindred spirit, a douche.
