There is Nothing New about Dr. Matiang'i Job

When Mr. Kenyatta, through an Executive Order No. 1 of 2019 (powers that he exercises illegitimately because majority of Kenyans never surrendered their sovereign power to him anyway) directed the formation of the National Development Implementation and Communication Cabinet Committee; the National Development Implementation Technical Committee; 8 Regional Development Implementation Co-ordination Committees and 47 County Development Implementation Co-ordination Committees. The order purported to provide a new framework to coordinate implementation of government programmes. It also purported to appoint one Dr. Fred Matiang’i the chair of the National Development Implementation and Communication Cabinet Committee.Now, led by the Kenyan media, it has been said that Dr. Matiang’i has a new role, and/or that he has become some sort of super minister or that this is a move to undermine Mr. William Ruto. blah blah blah. Here is the thing. There is no single addition to the roles of Dr. Fred Matiang’i. There is nothing magical about so called government realignment. No single new position; not new role for Dr. Matiang’i. If anything it goes to show how Uhuru and Matiang'i either have not been doing anything or never understood their jobs. All I know is that the title of Dr. Matiang’i has always been ‘Minister of Interior and Coordination of National Government.’ Coordination activities and programmes of national governmnet has always been (should have been) his role.
