Musalia Mudavadi's Prime Cabinet Secretary's Office Might Be Taken By Raila, Herman Manyora

• Political analyst Herman Manyora warned Musalia Mudavadi about the vulnerability of his position in the Kenya Kwanza administration
• Manyora stated that Mudavadi could become the first casualty of a Raila Odinga-William Ruto agreement, cautioning against assuming the Prime Minister's role is his
• Manyora said political agreements are not permanent, suggesting the PM position might not necessarily go to Mudavadi and could even be taken by Kalonzo Musyoka

Nairobi - Political analyst Herman Manyora has warned Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi to be wary of his position in the Kenya Kwanza administration.

During an interview with Jadel Kabiro, the analyst claimed that Mudavadi would be the first casualty of a deal between ODM leader Raila Odinga and President William Ruto.

Manyora stated that Mudavadi should not sit assured that the Prime Minister's position would be his automatically in the event of a constitutional change.

The analyst added that there are no permanent agreements in politics, adding that the seat could even go to Kalonzo Musyoka.

"There will be constitutional amendments, and I am preparing people, please listen to my voice. Even Mudavadi let nobody tell you that the office created is yours. It can be created and given to Raila. I am telling once you entrench the PM position, who tells you it's for Mudavadi? It can be Raila's or Kalonzo's. Which agreement? In politics, there are no agreements," he said.

Why is Mudavadi a ghost worker

The analyst claimed Ruto was deliberate in appointing Mudavadi to the office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary.

Manyora said the office was a shell with no duties or constitutional backing, adding that it was meant to appease Mudavadia at the same time, keep Gachagua and Interior CS Kithure Kindiki.

He explained that Ruto tried making Mudavadi a position akin to Fred Matiang'i in former president Uhuru Kenyatta's second term but could risk offending the above-mentioned leaders.

"Mudavadi is a ghost worker, he's not a prime minister. What Ruto should have done was to do the Matiang'i thing but slightly better by going to parliament.

But because he wanted Mudavadi to hang there so that he doesn't offend Gachagua, it's deliberate by denying Mudavadi a constitutional grounding. Ruto is being clever. He wanted to please Gachagua, so he created a ghost worker in Mudavadi," he said.

Ruto proposes new constitutional offices

Earlier, Ruto proposed the creation of an office of the official leader of the opposition, stating that the constitution failed to provide the full post-election fate of the minority side.

To enhance oversight of the Executive, the head of state proposed amendments to the Parliamentary standing orders to facilitate the participation of Cabinet secretaries or Chief Administrative Secretaries in Parliamentary proceedings.

Additionally, Ruto asked the 13th Parliament to initiate amendments to establish a formula to guide the computation of the gender ratio in the National Assembly.
