Does the appointment of Dr Fred Matiang’i as head of National Development Implementation and Communication Cabinet Committee signal any constitutional change?
According to Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria, President Kenyatta has already made changes in the constitution without necessarily having to call for a referendum.
In latest changes to his cabinet, President Kenyatta has brought Fred Mataing’i to the heart of his cabinet
Matiang’i will take charge of the implementation and monitoring of all development projects initiated and funded by the national government through a new Cabinet sub-committee called National Development Implementation and Communication Cabinet Committee.
It brings on board all CSs, Attorney General Kihara Kariuki and Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua.
“Exactly what I had in mind when I proposed a Prime Minister and two Deputy Prime Ministers appointed by the President to assist the President and the Deputy President in these important roles,” Kuria said.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, Kuria congratulated Matiang’i, Treasury CS Henry Rotich and Interior PS Karanja Kibicho for their big appointments.
According to the executive order dated Monday this week, Rotich will deputise Matiang’i in the Cabinet sub-committee.
The committee will also be chaired by Kibicho
“Now I can sleep well and sound, comfortable that there is a team of three who will switch on and off the lights of government every morning and evening,” Kuria said.
