Return to old order: Ruto's bid to amass political clout ahead of re-election battle

A series of proposed laws to Parliament by President William Ruto that seek to alter governance structure point at an attempt by the Head of State to steer the country back to the old order.

The recent tabling of a Bill that seeks to establish and define the role of Chief Administrative Secretaries (CASs), after the positions were declared unconstitutional by the court, the re-introduction of the Head of Public Service and the backing of a report by the National Dialogue Committee for the re-introduction of official opposition leader, are the clearest indications yet that Ruto is keen on running the country under the old order.
