Ruto hands Mudavadi more powers tasking him with overseeing performance management across all ministries, state departments, and state agencies.
President William Ruto has granted Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi more powers in a dispatch sent by the Executive Office of the President on Tuesday, February 28.
The move came as a result of the review of the Financial Year 2021/2022 Performance Contracting Cycle of all ministries and departments in the government.
The Cabinet emphasized that a performance management function was necessary to maintain responsibility given the unsettling situation in the country.
“This is expected to entrench productivity as the Administration’s mantra while also enhancing accountability.
“To realize this objective, the Administration’s first contracting cycle will crystalize the ministerial priorities approved during the Cabinet retreat held at the beginning of the year,” the statement read in part.

In liaison with the Ministry of Interior, Mudavadi is expected to oversee the implementation of National Government policies.
Other key roles include chairing the Principal Secretaries Committees, evaluating projects, and performing other tasks performed any tasks assigned by the President.
