Ruto reassigns nine PSs as Raila becomes new centre of power

President William Ruto has reassigned nine PSs, appointed 13 new ones and created new departments in the new changes that lift the lid on Raila Odinga’s growing influence in government.

Ruto created seven new state departments bringing the number of PSs to about 58 — the highest since the promulgation of the 2010 Constitution — and coming at a time of hue and cry about the country’s wage bill.
