Suspicion in Jubilee marriage halts President Uhuru Kenyatta’s plan to reorganise government

President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto

Jubilee leadership faces increased public scrutiny after the much talked about reorganisation of the Cabinet and Civil Service either failed to materialise, or has been set aside as allegations of vicious feuding over lucrative positions take centre stage.

The uncertainty is compounded further by questions about how long Cabinet secretaries who have been holding brief for their suspended colleagues will remain “in acting” positions as investigations about their alleged involvement in economic crimes and abuse of office drag on. The law is silent on what options are available to the President or the suspended public officers.
