Kindiki swearing-in: How gazette notices flew around in night of unusual efficiency
Immediately after a three-judge bench cleared the way for Prof Kindiki's swearing-in as Deputy President, the ‘System’ set in motion the next steps, leading to a flurry of gazette notices.
The first Gazette notice that hit the newsroom and social media was No. 14098 on the constitution of a 21-member committee.
Back at KICC, tents were already being erected in readiness for Kindiki’s red-letter day, but the government was not done yet.
On the evening of Thursday October 31, it was raining gazette notices and late night invites as government operatives rushed to put everything in place ahead of Friday’s swearing-in ceremony of incoming Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, a swift display of urgency rarely seen before.
Immediately after a three-judge bench at the High Court lifted orders blocking the swearing-in of Prof Kindiki as Kenya’s Deputy President, signaling the end of the road for his impeached predecessor, the ‘System’ set in motion the next steps of installing the immediate former Cabinet Secretary for Interior in his new position.
