A deal between President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM party leader Raila Odinga will see the former Prime Minister control some of the key ministries in the country.

Raila is set to take control of the ministries in the new changes expected to be announced by President Kenyatta.

According to a local daily, the changes that are aimed at achieving the Country’s economic recovery will see several opposition leaders earn plum jobs.

Sources privy to the planned changes said Raila could be handed a huge portfolio that would see him coordinate several ministries dealing directly with the economy through a new agency to be established in the Executive under the Office of the President.

Treasury, Agriculture, Tourism, Industrialisation and Devolution are some of the dockets that the former Prime Minister would be entrusted with to coordinate.

The outfit to be headed by Raila will be called the Multi-Agency Economic Recovery Team. It will be directly answerable to the President.

The agency could also bring together eminent political leaders.

In the proposed arrangement, Raila will head the Economic Commission or Council that will superintend the country’s post-coronavirus economic recovery.

The Covid-19 pandemic has taken a heavy toll on the country, with the economy on its knees without hope of growth this year.

The new council will have a multi-sectoral approach, working together with a number of state departments relevant to economic recovery, including the National Treasury.
