President William Ruto has saved
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Prime Cabinet Secretary and CS for
Foreign Affairs Musalia Mudavadi.
Speaking when he addressed the nation
on Thursday, Ruto dismissed every other Cabinet Secretary and the Attorney
General.
"I have decided to dismiss with
immediate effect all the Cabinet Secretaries and Attorney General of the
Cabinet of Kenya except the Prime Cabinet Secretary and the Cabinet Secretary
for Foreign Affairs and Diaspora Affairs and of course the Office of the Deputy
President is not affected in any way," he said.
Ruto stated that he will engage in
extensive consultations across different sectors and political formations and
other Kenyans at large.
This is with the aim of setting up a
broad base government that will assist him in accelerating the necessary,
urgent and irreversible implementation of the program that the state has.
This includes dealing with the burden
of debt, raising domestic resources, expanding job opportunities, eliminating
wastage and unnecessary duplication of a multiplicity of government agencies
and ending of corruption.
This, Ruto said, will consequently
make the government lean, inexpensive, effective and efficient
"During this process, the
operations of government will continue uninterrupted under the guidance of
Principal Secretaries and other relevant officials," he added.
This comes barely a year after.
