Prof. Kithure Kindiki is set to be sworn in as Kenya’s third Deputy President tomorrow, marking a significant moment in the country’s political history. His appointment follows President William Ruto’s gazettement of a committee tasked with overseeing the transition to the Deputy President’s office.
This event underscores the continuity of governance established by the Constitution of Kenya 2010, which has seen only two predecessors in this role.
President William Ruto has therefore appointed Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi as the Acting Cabinet Secretary for Interior, effective October 31, 2024. This appointment comes as a significant move within the administration, allowing Mudavadi to take on crucial responsibilities in the Interior Ministry while maintaining his position as the Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs.
