Ford Kenya party leader Moses Wetangula now says that Interior Cabinet Secretary is the new defacto Prime Minister in Kenya.
Matiangi was on Tuesday picked by President Uhuru Kenyatta to head the newly constituted National Development Implementation and Communication Committee.
In an interview Wednesday, the Bungoma Senator said that the latter is now a top figure in the executive as he is the prefect of the entire cabinet on matters development.
He added that the biggest loser of the same is Deputy President William Ruto whose main job has been crisscrossing the nation while supervising projects.
He said that Uhuru's move simply relegates Ruto to an office figure, unless the Head of State gives him another responsibility to take care of.
"The job Matiangi has been given to do is the same one that Ruto has been doing. This means that the DP is now jobless and will be depending on the president to give him roles to do," he said.
However, he said, Uhuru is acting in line with the law and as per the powers placed in his hands by the constitution.
"Uhuru is right, he has not broken any law," he added.
Ruto is yet to personally speak on the issue which is threatening the popularity he has been getting courtesy of his tours.
This is only 3 years to the 2022 general elections where he is expected to run for the presidency.
