Mudavadi Office Question
This comes amid rising concern over the constitutionality of Mudavadi’s office. President William Ruto created the office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary in 2022 after winning presidential contest.
Aside, a section of leaders is pushing for the abolishment of the Office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary since its illegal and unconstitutional.
For example, Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale asked the President to abolish the office among other unconstitutional offices gobbling taxpayers’ money.
“Mr President, dissolve your cabinet and reconstitute it. Mr President, disband offices outside the Constitution, including Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS), including Prime Cabinet Secretary, including the Offices of the First Lady,” Khalwale said during a Senate Sitting.
However, the National Dialogue Committe (NADCO) report which was tabled in the National Assembly on 7th December 2023, recommended the establishment and entrenchment of an Office of the Prime Minister in the Constitution as a means of coordination of functions of the Executive arm of Government.
