Miguna speaks on clipping of DP Gachagua roles after Cabinet reshuffle

Miguna Miguna dismisses claims DP Rigathi Gachagua roles were clipped after a cabinet reshuffle by President Ruto.

Lawyer Miguna Miguna has refuted reports that the latest Cabinet rearrangement resulted in the positions of Prime CS Musalia Mudavadi being elevated while those of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua being diminished.

The Lawyer claimed that the differences between the two are like day and night in a statement on his X platform.

According to Miguna, the DP has a well-defined job that is adequately outlined in the constitution and cannot, therefore, be diminished.

He said the CS serves according to the wishes of the Constitution.

“Why are some Kenyans getting too excited about a mini cabinet reshuffle? The position and functions of the Deputy President are enshrined in the Constitution,” the Lawyer said.

“That of the Prime Cabinet Secretary is the prerogative of the President. Not the Constitution. Apples and Oranges.”
