The new Kenyan cabinet is the largest in the history of post-independence Kenya and it will come at a huge financial cost.

The former opposition leader, now the new prime minister, Raila Odinga, had pushed for a cabinet of 26, but agreed with the demands of President Mwai Kibaki and his followers for a much bigger administration.

There are 40 Kenyan cabinet ministers and 52 assistant ministers, not far short of half the total number of MPs.

We felt the commitment of the Federal Government to guarantee the rights of these indigenous people which are already guaranteed by the Brazilian constitution.

On 9th of April we got shocked by the decision of the Supreme Federal Tribunal, of suspending the operation aimed at removing the invaders once and for all.
