Nairobi-based lawyer Donald Kipkorir on Thursday asked President Uhuru Kenyatta to fire 3 Cabinet Secretaries on grounds of poor performance.
First on the list was current Transport CS James Macharia who initially headed the Health docket.
According to Mr Kipkorir, the CS was behind all the chaos experienced in the health sector in 2017 and has also performed dismally in his new ministry.
"His “Bank Executive” demeanour may mislead. The current chaos in the Ministry and especially the strike by medical workers begun when he was the Minister for Health.

"We invested billions in the Health Sector yet all our Public Health facilities are still inefficient, decrepit & death traps.
"In his current Ministry, more chaos abound. From fake tarmac roads to incoherent public policy...though his Ministry is the biggest owing to its five PSes, Macharia made sure there is no Kalenjin CEO in all Parastatals within it," stated Mr Kipkorir.
The lawyer also took issue with Education CS Fred Matiang'i whom he described as 'a Court Jester who wants to please the powers be.'
Many Kenyans laud Matiang'i for the reforms experienced in the education sector but Kipkorir seems to be reading from a different script, lamenting the fact that more students are failing exams and have nowhere to go.
"What is there to celebrate him if under his watch, every year 500,000 12-year-olds finish their education in STD 8 and each year 500,000 17-year-olds end their education in Form IV?
"Under his tenure, over 5million young Kenyans are wallowing in despair and depression. This is a number bigger than the States Of Israel, Namibia, Croatia or Kuwait," he added.

He further attacked the CS for the recent killings of innocent Kenyans during the election period, particularly the death of young children.
Lastly, Kipkorir called for the dropping of Tourism CS Najib Balala who he described as a 'true gentleman' but has entered 'all manner of contests to get meaningless rewards.'
"I have known Najib for long and is a true gentleman but as a Minister for Tourism, his tenure has been an abject failure.
"The Ministry has been concerned with attending all Tourism Exhibitions abroad and entering all manners of contests to be awarded “Best Beach”, “Best Game Reserve”, “Best Destination” But all meaningless.
"Our tourist visitors have never reached 1.5m since independence...Ministry of Tourism is a poster child of unmitigated incompetence. Let Balala go back to politics. He can Chair Jubilee and Raphael Tuju can go to the Cabinet," he remarked.
