DAILY POST: This is what KHALWALE now thinks of what will become of RUTO after UHURU appointed MATIANGI to literally take over his roles News 06:25 Wednesday January 23, 2019 - Former Kakameega Senator, Boni Khalwale, has downplayed the rumours that Deputy President William Ruto will be overshadowed by Interior Cabinet Secretary, Fred Matiangi, who was elevated to the position of a ‘Super Minister’ in charge of overseeing the implementation of all Government projects by President Uhuru Kenyatta yesterday.
Speaking early today, Khalwale said that Matiangi’s new role does not and will not overshadow the DP as has been perceived.

According to him, Matiangi’s role will only overshadow other Cabinet Secretaries and not the Deputy President.


“That competition is amongst Cabinet Secretaries.” “For the avoidance of doubt, Article 147 (4) of the Constitution says that the Deputy President does not hold any other state or public office,” said Khalwale.

The former legislator blamed the media for distorting facts and making it look like the DP enjoys powers akin to those of a Cabinet Secretary which is not the case.


“What the media is doing is; because you have to sell their papers, they have to bring that up so that people think that the Deputy President is in trouble. He is not!” “The powers of the Deputy President are not given by the President. [They] are given by the Constitution in Article 134 and Article 147, period!” Khalwale remarked. The Kenyan DAILY POST
