Deputy President William Ruto missed out on a critical meeting of top government officials chaired by President Uhuru Kenyatta as the relationship between the country’s top two bosses deteriorates. Sources said it was Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i who chairs the powerful National Development Implementation and Communication Cabinet Committee who invited the President to speak. For Cabinet, NSC and other high ranking meetings, invitation can either come directly from the President or the office of Secretary to the Cabinet Joseph Kinyua. “Today’s meeting was the usual meeting (project review meeting) held every Tuesday by Cabinet Secretaries and PSs pursuant to Executive Order No. In the meeting Uhuru is reported to have read the riot act to politicking CSs, CASs and PSs who have silently launched their campaigns for various positions ahead of 2022.
