The chance of a deputy president becoming Head of State in an acting capacity is one of the gains achieved through the current constitution.
And though President Uhuru Kenyatta declared yesterday that he was handing over his authority and functions to his deputy William Ruto, legal experts are in agreement that such a declaration is not necessary but automatic whenever the Head of State travels out of the country.
Article 147(3) of the Constitution provides that when the President is absent from Kenya, or when he is temporarily incapacitated, the deputy shall act as President.
This provision ensures that there is no vacuum or contention should the President leave the country without handing over power to the deputy.
The supreme law also allows the President to appoint his Deputy to the top seat in acting capacity even when both are in the country and without giving any reasons for it.
The acting president enjoys wide-ranging powers and authority accorded to his boss by the Constitution. However, the law spells out specific functions that the acting president cannot perform.
