A senior State House operative has turned his wrath on Government Spokesperson Isaac Mwaura for issuing conflicting statements over who should have custody of the Republic of Kenya Public Seal.
During his weekly briefing on May 20, Mwaura authoritatively declared that the seal should be under the watch of the Head of Public Service and dismissed those who held the position that it should be with the Attorney General as misinformed.
A day later when the internet went ablaze with contrary opinion, Mwaura relented and issued another statement he called a clarification, stating unequivocally that the seal of the Republic of Kenya must be in the custody of the Attorney General, as per the Constitution.
The State House operative who often goes ballistic is now said to have taken Mwaura to task for obvious panic and relenting to public pressure.
The disconnect in President William Samoei Ruto’s inner circle is further evidenced by State House spokesperson Hussein Mohammed going mute lately on matters communication.
It’s interesting that the State House operative who begun life as an accomplished politician but has kept an inscrutable public profile ever since he joined Ruto’s kitchen cabinet, recently came out to engage in politics and has addressed public rallies in Kericho and Kisii.
Isaac Mwaura has performed ignominably poorly in comparison to his predecessors in the docket of communication of government matters perhaps because of the overbearing presence of the senior State House operative and a digital savvy presidential advisor.
The disharmony in communication is just one of emergent peeks on how State House controls significantly independent government units.
Meanwhile, Kileleshwa MCA Robert Onyango Alai who is unapologetically a UDA Party blogger caused a stir with a distasteful post on Siaya Governor James Aggrey Bob Orengo being in India for medical attention.
The post which sought to make comparison between President Ruto and the Siaya Governor on matters developing the medical sector was utterly uncalled for and misplaced in analogy.
