THE FUNCTIONS OF DEPUTY PRESIDENT, ‘RIGGY G’

The deputy president is a very important political figure in Kenya whose main
function is to deputize the President of the National Republic. Before the
promulgation of the new constitution 2010, the deputy president was known as the
Vice president and Kenya has had a total of 10 vice presidents and 2 deputy
Presidents.

The Deputy president is the 2nd most powerful political figure in Kenya with an
approximate annual salary of 14.5 million exclusive of allowances. After the
2022 General Elections that were held on 8th August, Kenya elected its 12th
Deputy President, Rigathi Gachagua through the UDA political ticket. Before the
2010 constitution, a vice president was appointed by the president, but after
the promulgation of the new constitution the Deputy president is elected
together with the president.

In Article 47 of the constitution, the deputy president is the principal
assistant of the President and deputizes the president in the execution of
presidential functions. He is required to perform all his functions assigned to
him by the constitution and the president. When the president is temporarily
incapacitated or absent, he will be obliged to perform all presidential tasks
apart from hiring and firing of state officials.

The deputy president can therefore perform all presidential functions including
heading the executive including chairing cabinet meetings, directing and
coordinating functions of ministries and government departments. In the case
where the president is incapacitated, he can also declare a state of emergency
when necessary and with the approval of parliament, he can declare war.

His excellency Rigathi Gachagua, is required to deputize the president by
representing the country in National and International forums and events and
equally come up with structures for the executive on functions and competencies
that the law assigns the National government.

The deputy president assists the president in chairing the National and County
Government coordinating summit. Deputy President, Rigathi Gachagua will also be
chairing the Intergovernmental budget and economic council that provides a forum
for consultation and cooperation between the National government and the County
government on issues in relation to public finance and management.

In essence, Riggy G (as he is called by Kenyans on Twitter), will be performing
all presidential tasks apart from; conferring honors in the name of the people
and the Republic, appointing or nominating cabinet secretaries, Superior court
judges, high commissioner, ambassadors, diplomatic representatives or any other
state and public officials. He is also not allowed to dismiss any of the stated
state and public officials.

Last but foremost, in the case the president is incapacitated, impeached or
dies, the deputy President, Rigathi Gachagua will take over as the President of
the Republic of Kenya for the remaining term.

It’s important to note that His Excellency President William Samoei Ruto, has
embarked on a journey to provide more clarity to the job description to the
office of the DP based on his former experience as the Deputy President where
assignments were not very clear. This a space to watch to ensure that the spirit
and vision of CoK is not eroded in the process.
