Only the Deputy President, Rigathi Gachagua, and Prime Cabinet Secretary and Foreign Affairs, Musalia Mudavadi, retain their positions amid these changes.
The dismissed Cabinet Secretaries served for just two years with Ruto announcing a reshuffle that impacted at least eight ministries in October 2023.
Ruto stated that the decision to dissolve his Cabinet came after careful consideration, extensive listening to the sentiments of the Kenyan people, and a comprehensive evaluation of the Cabinet’s performance, achievements, and challenges.
He emphasized that the only positions unaffected by this shakeup are those of the Deputy President and the Prime Cabinet Secretary.
This significant restructuring comes in the wake of public demand on the regime to stem corruption and incompetence in public offices that have hindered the government’s effectiveness.
The nation now awaits further developments and the appointment of new officials to these crucial positions.
