When devolution was birthed for Kenya in 2013, a lot of doubts were spread across the 47 counties.
Uasin Gishu county governor Jackson Kiplagat Mandago is among the few county bosses who are notably enjoying a good relationship with their deputies.
He always gives his deputy humble time to perform his duties as prescribed in the constitution.
He never shouts at his deputy and allows him to speak on behalf of him on several occasions.
Mandago absolutely gets along with his deputy Daniel Chemno because they have never clashed openly on any issue.
There have been a number of governors who have openly clashed with their deputies.
For instance, Nairobi governor Mike Sonko differed with his former deputy Polycarp Igathe and Kiambu governor Ferdinand Waititu has openly differed with his assistant severally.
But governor Mandago is a different one.
He always listens to his deputy and they meet several times to internalize sensitive issues before either of them stepping on a political podium.
In most cases, the governor sends Chemno to represent him in a number of public functions.
Besides, the duo share common political ideology and strategies. It is a leadership that has seen the Uasin Gishu county government performing its duties diligently.
