President Ruto dismisses cabinet, DP, PC offices not affected

President William Ruto has dismissed all Cabinet Secretaries including the Attorney General.

In a press briefing Thursday afternoon, the President said the Office of the Deputy President and that of the Prime Cabinet Secretary will not be affected by the drastic changes.

“Upon reflection, listening keenly to what the people of Kenya have said and after a holistic appraisal of the performance of my Cabinet and its achievements and challenges, I have, in line with the powers given to me, decided to dismiss with immediate effect all the Cabinet Secretaries and the AG from the Cabinet except the PCS and CS Foreign and Diaspora Affairs.” President Ruto said.

Following the changes, the President noted that he will immediately engage in extensive consultations across different sectors and political formations, with the aim of setting
up a broad-based government that will assist him in accelerating and expediting the necessary, urgent and irreversible, implementation of radical programmes to deal with the burden of debt, raising domestic resources, expanding job opportunities, eliminate wastage and unnecessary duplication of a multiplicity of government agencies.

This as well as slaying the dragon of corruption consequently making the government lean, inexpensive, effective and efficient.

During this process, he says the operations of government will continue uninterrupted under the guidance of Principal Secretaries and other relevant officials adding that he will be announcing additional measures in due course.
