William Ruto has assigned Prime minister Musalia Mudavadi the task of acting as cabinet secretary for all ministries.
Ruto made the appointment barely a week after dismissing almost the entire cabinet.
The head of state stated that he made the decision after numerous consultations.
“I will immediately engage in extensive consultations across different sectors and political formations, with the aim of setting up a broad-based government that will assist me in accelerating and expediting the necessary, urgent and irreversible, implementation of radical programmes to deal with the burden of debt, raising domestic resources, expanding job opportunities, eliminate wastage and unnecessary duplication of a multiplicity of government agencies and slay the dragon of corruption consequently making the government lean, inexpensive, effective and efficient,” said Ruto.
A special Gazette Notice dated July 11 revealed that Mudavadi will take over the role of CSs in all the ministries.
“That pursuant to Article 152 (5) (a) of the Constitution, Hon. Wycliffe Musalia Mudavadi, E.G.H., is assigned as the Acting Cabinet Secretary in all vacant ministerial portfolios,” reads the notice.
