KTN News has revealed that the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party leader, Raila Odinga, is poised to secure a substantial share of the Kenya Kwanza Alliance (KKA) government.
The report suggests that at least 11 of the 42 available Principal Secretary (PS) positions are set to be allocated to Raila’s camp. This move signals the deepening of Raila’s influence within the government, marking a significant milestone in his political career.

This development follows the recent appointments of Cabinet Secretaries (CSs), where Raila’s allies secured key positions out of the 21 available slots.
With the inclusion of both the CS and PS roles, it is projected that Raila Odinga’s share of the government will reach an impressive 32%. This is seen as a significant portion of President William Ruto’s government, underscoring the strategic alliances within the Kenya Kwanza Alliance.

The allocation of these roles is reportedly part of a broader power-sharing agreement within the KKA coalition, aimed at fostering political stability and ensuring inclusivity in governance.
The move is also seen as a calculated strategy to balance the interests of the various factions within the coalition, as well as to appease Raila’s supporters, who have long called for his involvement in the government.
Sources close to the administration indicate that President Ruto is expected to make the official announcement of the new Principal Secretaries in the coming week.
