'Prime Minister'?: President Kenyatta Hands Interior CS Fred Matiang'i New Powerful Role

President Kenyatta has appointed Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i as the Chairperson of the newly constituted National Development Implementation and Communication Committee.

Matiang’i will head the committee, which is made of all Cabinet Secretaries, while his National Treasury counterpart Henry Rotich will deputize him.

President Kenyatta has formed the committee, whose function is to oversee the implementation of all government projects, through an executive order issued on Monday.

Matiang’i, who has previously served in the Education and ICT ministries, will supervise and coordinate almost all government functions that include monitoring projects done by all ministries.

Matiang’i’s new role is similar to that of a Prime Minister in a parliamentary system of government.

Kenyatta has further announced that the management and coordination of national transport and road safety have been moved to Matiang’i’s Interior Ministry.

This means that the Matiang’i-led Ministry will now be in charge of key functions such as motor vehicle registration, inspection, and certification, which were previously under the Ministry of Transport.

  1. This goes to show Matiang’i…
    This goes to show Matiang’i is the only one working in this government. Some of these cabinet secretaries are just busy enriching themselves. Uhunye is crafting 2022 picture with RAO but wants to leave someone working while he does it. Arap Mangamanga is busy dishing money to the churches. Very unfortunate to note Matiang’i is not included in the 2022 picture. He would make a good prime minister. Back in my village, Matiang’i can do no wrong.

  2. Matiang’i is doing a very…
    Matiang’i is doing a very good job but I think they have put too much in his plate. That is too much for one person. You mean Kenya has only Mitiang’i and Michuki who can do the job of straighten up the folks.

    • I concur, it seems too much…
      I concur, it seems too much for the only cabinet person doing good job. maybe Kenyatta should stripe off all the salaries and jobs from non performers and have Matiang groom his own people who can actually deliver. Matiang for President!

  3. I wonder if Matiang’i gets…
    I wonder if Matiang’i gets the same salary as the rest of CSs. He is usually burdened with huge responsibilities. At some point he was heading both interior and education dockets.

  4. Hopefully, Kenyans remember…
    Hopefully, Kenyans remember this and give him the mandate to govern the entire country in 2022. This thing of going around dishing money will be our undoing as a country.

  5. Mr Matiangi has been…
    Mr Matiangi has been appointed in a position similar to one which his mentor Mzee Nyachae had during Moi era !!!

  6. God bless our President for…
    God bless our President for what he is doing now. actually l will miss you Mr president for the work are doing this last rein. Actually cs matiang’i can do that work effectively. Ever though l don’t benefit directly but mataing’i can save the citizens of Kenya. Hongera Mr president.

  7. Matiang’i for President! The…
    Matiang’i for President! The only current leader that truly cares about Kenya and Kenyans. The only man in our power structure dedicated enough with a good chance of bringing corruption down in the country. Think new Kenya without the Dynasties’ crap. Think Matiang’i 2022.

  8. Ndugu matiang’i: Inaonekana…
    Ndugu matiang’i: Inaonekana umepewa kazi nyingi sana katika nchi yetu.
    Nakuomba tafadhali usimsahau Ndugu yetu Miguna Miguna ambaye baridi yammaliza huko Canada.

    Miguna alimwapisha Ndugu Raila, kwa nini Raila yuko huru na Miguna anateseka katika nchi ya kigeni. Vibaraka wako walimnyang’anya pasipoti yake ya Kenya na kuharibu nyumba yake kufuatana na maagizo yako! Kwa nini unakubali kutumiwa kama zulia (carpet)?

    Kwanza, mkristo Toroitich Arap Moi alimfukuza Miguna akaenda nchi jirani ya Tanzania. Nakuomba tafadhali usifufue tena siasa chafu za mkristo Toroitich. Watu wengi sana waliumia wakati wa utawala wake.

    Mahakma kuu tayari imeshakwambia umrudishie vitambulisho vyake na arudi nyumbani, wewe umekataa kutii sheria ya nchi. Mpaka wakati utakapotii maagizo ya mahakma kuu ya Kenya, na kumpa Miguna vitambulisho vyake ulivyomnyang’anya (took away from him) na kumruhusu kurudi katika nchi aliyozaliwa, wewe ni KIBARAKA (puppet) wa Uhuru tu. Hufai kuwa kiongozi wa Kenya kwenye siku za usoni (in future).

    Hayati aliyekuwa rais wa nchi ya Marekani Franklin D. Roosevelt alisema, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Kwa nini wewe na Uhuru mnamwogopa Miguna Miguna?

  9. To whom much is given, much…
    To whom much is given, much is required. May the Lord add Matiangi more strength and wisdom to fulfill all his duties. Shalom CS.

  10. N may my boy matiangi…
    N may my boy matiangi continue to shine all the way.Mr matiangi u will b my vice president 2032 after Ruto president.Bravo bravo.I love the way u dealt with Chama za magaidi raila,miguna,orengo NRM

  11. @Mkenya Halisi:
    Ndugu…

    @Mkenya Halisi:

    Ndugu Matiang’i angemshika Raila na kumtesa kama alivyomtesa Miguna. Yeye ni kibaraka (puppet). Hatutaki vibaraka tena nchini Kenya.

  12. Meru people are crying…
    Meru people are crying.
    Kiraitu Murungi of Harvard University is stealing everything and posting fake development pictures on twitter.

    That is what they get for voting for a Jubilee thieve and a member of tanga tanga.
    Wa Shenzi.

  13. Organizing and reorganizing…
    Organizing and reorganizing government ni kazi yia president. Wacha Matiangi aendeshe slikali ili wengine wapate nafasi yia kutangatanga na kupeana pesa ovyo ovyo. Mdomo kubwa Miguna Miguna sikubaliwe kurudi Kenya hata kidogo. Wacha apigwe na baridi huko kwao Canada. Yeye tazoea tu.

  14. I thought this was Tuju’s…
    I thought this was Tuju’s position: Cabinet Secretary without Portfolio? Or may be he has failed.
