@FRM 2011...Now you are lying just like aliaR. You fellows have already made it clear that those posts will be provided for in the "new government". So what you are telling us now is that some fellow like Rutto will be in both National and County governments at the same time. Ati helping...helping kitu gani!!!

@baratang, am not lying. Remember when Madvd and Uhuru were deputy prime ministers ? They had to get cabinet portfolios since their titles didn't have a tangible job profile. But the prime minister was supervising govt ministries. He had a real job.
It will be the same. Madvd will be supervising entire cabinet. Think Joseph Kinyua but with additional powers and political clout to reign over CSs. Even before any constitutional amendments, the president will delegate his power to the premier cabinet secretary. This will be a substantive position with a real job profile.
The deputies on the other hand have two options. Take up one of the cabinet slots allocated to them or stay out of cabinet and nominate your appointees. They both went for option 2.
Otherwise there is no job called deputy premier. Its just a title but with full control of a section of govt. And real power.
