It is the prerogative of the head of state and head of government (read kibaki) to appoint the leader of Govt business.ODM position is not so legally backed but it is whatever they call the 'spirit' of National accord whereas the constitution is very clear any other law that contradicts it the constitution prevails.

Traditionally the president's PRINCIPAL ASSISTANT has always represented his interests in the House and the rotation only came to fore during the fourteen months Mzee decided to run the country alone without a VP.

In a nutshell the position can be negotiated with the BOSS not in the parliament but at State House or Harambee house....

RAO should prevail upon Kibaki to appoint him but cant see that happening ODM will give in since they know it is just a sideshow designed in Naivasha by one Anyang Nyongo.

Peace to all men of Goodwill

mcregae.... kibaki may choose to consult,and i believe he should,but the fact remains,he is president and has the powers to appoint head of HBC without consulting anyone. kwani how come odm never payukas when kibaki makes other appointments .. like the ones benefiting Raila's relatives??

He who laughs last thinks slowest..

Dont you just love SKerians hypocricy? When Raila is being shafted by Kiguoya,PNU supporters here brag how much power Kiguoya has and how useless the accord is and how Kiguoya has constitutuional right to do this and that.

But just wait until the government screws up,then they're so ready to equally pass the blame to the two principles,suddenly the coalition is equal and its the two principles who are failing Kenyans. Please be consistent,you can fool mama mbogas with your BS,but not people here,we can see through your hypocricy.

@TB

'WE'...??.That is very strong but it also says you are a mouth piece....

Yes,I am a mouthpiece for reform,always been,unlike some people who cry reform up until their tribesmate steals the elections. Suddenly its all bravado how they stole the election and are shafting the real winner of the elections. Lakini malipo ni hapa hapa.
