Musalia Mudavadi Set To Receive A Lucrative Position In Ruto’s Government

The Amani National Congress (ANC) has announced that Musalia Mudavadi, the leader of the party, has been proposed for employment as William Ruto’s Prime Cabinet Secretary.

The party claims that Kenya Kwanza’s founding members convened virtually on Wednesday, August 17, and established the new position through an Executive Order.

The leaders of the coalition’s Council Bureau include ANC leader Mudavadi, FORD-Kenya head Moses Wetangula, and President-elect Ruto of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).

“The new position to be created through an Executive Order was agreed upon by the founding party members of Kenya Kwanza in an agreement signed by President-elect William Ruto of UDA, Moses Wetangula of Ford Kenya and Musalia Mudavadi of ANC,” he said.

Ruto announces a number of adjustments he will make to the government.
In his first meeting with Kenya Kwanza elected leaders, Ruto outlined a number of changes and a new method of doing government just hours prior to the announcement.

In order to require Cabinet Secretaries to respond to questions on the floor of the house, Ruto stated that he had reached an agreement with the newly elected Members of Parliament to modify the Standing Orders.

He claimed that this is a change from the present circumstance, in which CSs must appear before House committees.

“We are going to amend standing orders to make it possible for cabinet secretaries to answer questions on the floor of Parliament. It is not enough for them to go to parliamentary committees,” he said.

The president-elect also said that state officials would not be used to perform any political tasks, drawing a clear line between the government officers and politicians.

“Political work will be carried out by politicians and not members of the provincial administration. This is the only way to govern. We want them to remain independent and work for all Kenyans despite their affiliations. They should serve Kenyans equally,” Ruto said.
