Stripped: Why Kindiki has lost key intergovernmental role to Mudavadi in Ruto's shake-up

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has been stripped of his intergovernmental coordination role through a directive from President William Ruto. The Chief of Staff and Head of Public Service, Felix Koskei, issued the order, effectively removing Kindiki from a significant aspect of his duties.

The crucial department responsible for intergovernmental coordination, which includes managing the link between devolved units and the national government, will now fall under the purview of Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi. This change represents a notable shift in the administrative structure and Kindiki's responsibilities within the current government.

The decision, communicated via a directive, signifies a reshuffling of duties within President Ruto's administration. Kindiki's removal from this specific role and its transfer to Mudavadi highlights a strategic realignment of government functions.
