“Nothing Has Changed”: Kindiki Breaks Silence on Alleged Loss of Power to Mudavadi
Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has dismissed reports claiming a key docket was stripped from his office. Recent media stories alleged his intergovernmental coordination role was transferred to Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi.
Speaking to journalists, Kindiki clarified that executive duties remain intact across government ministries. He reassured the public that no institutional realignment has taken place inside the presidency.
“Nothing has changed in my designated mandate,” Kindiki stated firmly. “The executive structure remains as mandated by the Constitution and official gazette notices.”
