Azimio accuses Ruto of poor planning after the president issued two Executive orders in a span of two months.
President William Ruto was accused of poor planning when he separated the roles of his deputy Rigathi Gachagua from those of Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi in his first executive order in 2023.
Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osostsi expressed concerns about the way the head of state handled topics of national importance in an interview with NTV on Friday, January 13.
He claimed that it was too early for Ruto to issue a second directive since taking the helm.
The Azimio legislator explained that Ruto’s predecessors rarely issued executive orders and only resorted to the move when it was absolutely necessary.
Senator Osotsi predicted that Ruto would continue issuing orders without properly thinking them out hence throwing the ruling party into disarray.

“This is the second order in a span of two months. Executive orders are not things to be issued within two months. There should be concrete reasons why it should be issued.
“What this says is that there could be planning issues. Why did they not see this coming? They should have an executive order that should have stood the test of time,” he stated.
Additionally, he called out Ruto for illegally assigning roles to his team despite promising to uphold the constitution.
The senator opined that Ruto should have made amendments to the National Government Coordination Amendment Act of 2013.
In Executive Order No. 1 of 2023, Ruto tasked Gachagua with roles relating to the relationship between the national government and county governments while Mudavadi was tasked with overseeing the executive’s relationship with the legislature.
