The Deputy President and some deputy governors have cried foul of being sidelined by their heads. Are they only beneficial during the voting process? How can leaders pair up and not have an unreconcilable disagreement for the five years that they are expected to be in office? We are back after a slight break. In this 30th episode, we look at this process of having an idea and bringing another person on board, devaluing them, and once they have served their purpose in our grand scheme discarding them. Also what ripple effect has it had on our politics especially the ongoing campaigns? We also look at some of the recent major happenings that occurred during our hiatus including -<ul><li>The party primaries. </li><li>What&#39;s next for the BBI. </li><li>Former President Mwai Kibaki&#39;s Legacy. </li><li>Are we still voting and other topics.</li></ul> Production is done by Aqute Media.Music by Wataboi - Jungle Juice.

On the 13th of February, 2021, Deputy President William Ruto at Ngaremara in Isiolo County claimed that his duties have been granted to other people. What does this mean? Does the Constitution clearly define the roles of this position? Does the BBI address this seat and perhaps the loopholes or the misfits around the deputy seat extending it to the deputy governors as well? We also cross over slightly to the deputy governor&#39;s seat and the roles too. Our main question is: Is the position of the Deputy President CEREMONIAL?
