Kenya's Leadership Shocker: Kindiki Takes Deputy President Role in Mid-Term Power Shift!

Image
It was a momentous moment for Kenyan politics: Professor Kithure Kindiki took the oath of office, earlier today at KICC Nairobi, and became the Deputy President of the country, going down in history as one of the few officials to assume such a high office before the end of an electoral term. Far from the usual five-year election cycle, this presents a new dawn in Kenya's political landscape, testing the stability of governance structures in the country. The swearing-in of Kindiki is significant, not only because transitions at the executive level at mid-term periods are rare but also for what it represents: adaptability in governance amidst an evolving political climate.  Conventionally, a deputy president should serve a full term with the president except in circumstances beyond their control. This appointment in the middle of the cycle has, however, driven the point home that leadership changes can occur through constitutional processes and not necessarily through electoral cycle

 Following every president's entry in power, appointment of  cabinet secretaries is inevitable to suit a government tailored for the president and one that should see to it that the citizens are served as it should be, if not as per the president's manifesto. Following this, Kenya's now fifth President, Dr. William Samoei Ruto, has now appointed his cabinet secretaries, which consists of 22 members on Tuesday 27th September 2022 a fortnight after his inauguration. He had earlier held a meeting, on the same Tuesday he introduced his new cabinet, with the outgoing cabinet secretaries who were under the former President Uhuru's government. President Ruto named ANC party leader, Musalia Mudavadi, as the Prime Cabinet Secretary. With his position, Musalia Mudavadi happens to be the third most powerful government official after the president, William Ruto, and his deputy president, Rigathi Gachagua.

HIKED FUEL PRICES ?

Many woke up to the shocking news of hiked fuel prices. With the unstable economy that not only Kenya but the whole world is experiencing, Kenya has come to a historic high as the price of  fuel rises by close to Ksh. 30.  The new price of one litre of petrol retails at Ksh. 179.30 with a litre of diesel going for Ksh. 165. This new price regime remains in force for the next one month despite the tight economy. This pains the citizens, especially car owners, who use their cars daily to run their errands and have to fuel their cars almost daily. Complaining, citizens say that life is becoming seemingly expensive. During President Ruto's inauguration, he said that the fuel relief scheme would be stopped since it was causing problems on the already falling country's economy. He however brought hope to the citizens of Kenya by promising them and pledging to lower the cost of living that everyone shall feel comfortable living in Kenya. The prices for basic foods shot up due to the C
