Raila gets taste of power

The Standard "Mr Raila Odinga sampled what would come with the Office of the Prime Minister in terms of real power, on a day that appeared to be his first on duty— albeit unofficially. Already being touted as Prime Minister-Designate, Raila emerged — as exclusively reported in The Standard on Tuesday— complete with a motorcade and State security while heading for his first appointment with President Kibaki.

The Act creating the PM post will have a clause of 'supervising and coordinating' the Cabinet, which will give the holder clout and a hugely enhanced profile. This was a dramatic transformation for Raila on a day all stops appeared to have been pulled to hasten the enactment of the historic deal after a team of lawyers assigned the task announced substantial progress."
