Cabinet Dissolved

President William Ruto has dissolved his Cabinet, sending home all Cabinet Secretaries and the Attorney General. This decision, however, does not affect Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi.

Immediate Dismissal

“I have decided to dismiss with immediate effect all Cabinet Secretaries and the Attorney General of the Cabinet of Kenya except the Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs,” Ruto stated. “And of course, the office of the Deputy President is not affected in any way.”

Transition Management

The President announced that the affairs of the Ministries will now be coordinated by Principal Secretaries until a definitive cabinet is appointed. “The operations of government will continue uninterrupted under the guidance of Principal Secretaries and other relevant officials,” he added.

Future Cabinet Formation

Ruto emphasized that the new cabinet will be named after extensive consultations across all sectors. “I 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 me in accelerating and expediting the necessary, urgent, and irreversible implementation of radical programs,” he said.

Government Efficiency Goals

The President outlined his vision for the new government, focusing on tackling the burden of debt, raising domestic resources, expanding job opportunities, eliminating wastage, and addressing the issue of corruption. “Consequently making the government lean, inexpensive, effective, and efficient,” Ruto concluded.
