The onset of president William Ruto’s reign saw the creation of a new office in the government, the office of the prime cabinet secretary. Interestingly, the occupant of the office is the former ANC party leader, Musalia Mudavadi.
However, following the political differences between kenya kwanza and opposition side that has escalated anti government protests, the two parties are in bi-partisan talks to end the scores. Morevore, the president has reiterated his willingness to create a new office again to have the opposition leader have a role to play in the government formally. That is, the office of the opposition leader.
However, the creation of the new office threatens the existence of the office of prime minister that Musalia occupies. This is according to public policy analyst, Sam Mwangi who says that the office of the leader of opposition is similar to the office of prime minister in the old constitution. Bearing in mind that, the prime cabinet position plays a role of prime minster, then should the president go ahead an institute new office for the opposition, Mudavadi’s office risks being irrelevant.
