The caucus of Deputy Governors in Kenya on Wednesday, March 19, demanded legal reforms that would clearly define their roles in the counties amidst numerous run-ins with their governors.
Led by chair Rueben Kamuri, the Council of Deputy Governors insisted that many deputy governors had engaged in tussles with their bosses due to what they claim is a lack of a clear definition of roles. As per Kamuri, the squabbles have led to numerous cases of governors and deputy governors in various counties at loggerheads thus affecting county operations.
In some cases, the tensions have left the deputy governors out in the cold and isolated from county activities.
