DP Ruto will create a Prime Cabinet Secretary post for Mudavadi if he clinches the presidency in the August polls. 

Suna East MP Junet Mohamed has issued a hard-hitting statement after the Kenya Kwanza power sharing structure was revealed.

It emerged on Wednesday, May 11, that Deputy President William Ruto will create a Prime Cabinet Secretary post for ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi if he clinches the presidency in the August polls. 

Mudavadi will be appointed through an Executive order within 14 days if DP Ruto wins. 

Addressing the press on Thursday, May 12, Junet hit out at DP Ruto saying that he opposed the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) yet he was creating the same positions for Mudavadi and his team. 

"We have been clear from the start that Kenya needs a political and governance structure that accommodates all our communities, regions, and all their diversities. That is why we brought BBI now DP Ruto has opposed BBI vehemently for the last five years now today he is creating the same positions BBI was advocating for Prime Minister and Deputy Prime minister.

"He told Kenyans we don't need positions. Today he is dishing out the same positions to Mudavdai and other people. That tells you the kind of character we are dealing with. Ruto is re-inventing BBI through the back door," Junet stated. 


The legislator noted that what DP Ruto condemned for more than four years has boiled down to sharing of positions. 

"The mama mboga’s and bodaboda DP Ruto has been talking about in the last 4years are Musalia, Wetangula, Kingi, and Mutua," he said.

According to the agreement,  the post of National Assembly Speaker will go to Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula and his Ford Kenya party. Musalia and Mudavadi have also been promised a 30% share of Ruto's government, that is appointments in all ministries and government parastatals.

The two Western Kenya leaders are in return, required to deliver 70% of the votes from the five counties of Western Kenya.
