A university professor, Prof Masibo Lumala of Moi University, who is a renown political expert has come out to say that he believes that prime cabinet secretary Wycliffe Musalia Mudavadi is not reporting directly to deputy president Rigathi Gachagua as many would expect.
In an interview with The Nation, the seasoned university don says that president William Ruto has managed to strike a political masterstroke by defining clearly that Mr Mudavadi is the country's third in command as it will ensure a smooth working relationship with Gachagua.
However, in real sense, he agues that Mudavadi is no longer reporting directly to Mr Gachagua currently and that he reports directly to president William Ruto. He argues that the drafting of the command structure was simply for clarity and formality purposes.
"Having Musalia Mudavadi reporting to deputy president Rigathi Gachagua is just to contain the rivalry between the two leaders by making them understand that they are not equals, but the reality of the matter is that, Musalia Mudavadi's position is not recognised by the Constitution and that of Gachagua is, but they both report to President William Ruto directly, unlike what the Executive Order says,” he said.
