Opinion is divided on whether President Uhuru Kenyatta clipped powers of his deputy William Ruto when he handed more responsibilities to Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i.

In his new role Dr Matiang’i will chair a key committee on implementation of development programmes, whose membership includes CSs, the AG and Head of Public Service.
