President William Ruto has kept his pre-election promise and created the office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary (PCS) which will be occupied by Amani National Congress (ANC) leader Musalia Mudavadi.
The position, which was among those unveiled by the President when he released the names of his long-awaited Cabinet, provided a peek into the delicate balancing act facing Ruto who was keen to placate competing political interests to forestall polarisation, early in his administration.
The portfolio is part of the agreement signed between Ruto's United Democratic Alliance, Mudavadi's ANC and National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula's Ford Kenya, which led to the formation of Kenya Kwanza Alliance.
