Additional tasks have been assigned to Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua as a result of the cabinet retreat in Nanyuki.
Ruto gave Musalia Mudavadi, the prime cabinet secretary, the responsibility of managing the coordination between the Legislature and the Executive during the retreat.
“The office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary will have a state department that will oversee the relationship between the Executive and the Legislature. I suggest that even as you formulate the final amendment to the Standing Order, his office is engaged so that we can agree on how to have all questions answered in Parliament by CSs,” Ruto said.
Ruto stated that the duty will be carried out by a department that would be established inside the Office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary.
On the other hand, the deputy president was given the responsibility of ensuring a productive working relationship between the county and the national governments.
“The Office of the Deputy President will have a state department that will oversee the relationship between the national and county governments. I deliberately assigned that responsibility to the office of the deputy president so that we can amicably work with the county governments,” Ruto said.
The ongoing legal disputes between state ministries and departments were another topic covered during the discussion.
The president forbade the departments and ministries from suing one another.
