Does the constitution allow for cabinet secretaries to play politics or is there a regulation for how they participate
What is playing politics? Can the president ask them to accompany him to a rally to account to wananchi? Ambiguity in law is both an angel and a devil

They work in a political setup. so playing politics once in a while is part of their JD

As long as we cant separate a political rally from a presidential function (kukagua miradi ya maendeleo na kukutana na wananichi) then we can dissect this. The only option we are left with is defining playing politics as being an active member of a political party

These bitter attacks where they just issue negative statements without highlighting what they are doing in their ministries should be discouraged. They should either choose to be politicians or technocrats.
There is no law prohibiting CS’s from engaging in politics.
