GMB - the Cabinet naming...

So, I had this conversation with myself:

1. The President is in the position to name his Cabinet.

Now what?

2. It is a coalition government.

So what?

3. It's not unnatural for every member to believe that he or she holds an equal stake.

What if they all do?

4. It behooves the President to avoid arbitrariness as much as possible.

But isn't he the President?

5. Yes, but it's in his, and in our best interest to ensure that his administration is reasonably representative.

But who and whose get there shouldn't be a biggie, bruh?

6. It is, especially if each member believes that his or her candidate of choice is topnotch.

But then are they all suitable?

7. Now that's the thing. It will require separating out the chaff from the grain; a painstaking process at that.

Shouldn't that be left to the President's discretion?

8. Fact is, we have not been lucky with discretionary powers, and the man may not be emotionally prepared for the tsunami of complaints thereof.

With what authority do you speak?

9. I'm not saying that's the case. Mine is just a theory, and the reason I'm not so bothered by the piecemeal appointments so far. Besides, we have seen some governments take months to constitute one.

10. I guess then we follow the patience of Ayyūb‎‎ (Job).

Wise thing to do... and one more thing: given how the former regime ingeniously put in laws to keep genuine political challengers out of play, including many of our top-level professionals either exiled or politically incarcerated, caution is required, lest some appointments may be seen as "illegal," and can open another Pandora's box, like it is with the VP's, whose legitimacy I still defend on the premise that the seeming reluctance to countenance that 'con-stitution' whose constitutionality is questionable cannot be called unconstitutional - and by 'con-stitution' I mean one instituted by fraud. But what do I know.
