In a surprise move aimed at appeasing protesting Kenyan youths, President William Ruto has dismissed all cabinet members, except the Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs. The announcement came during a live broadcast on Thursday.
Ruto cited the need for a fresh start, acknowledging the public’s concerns and the cabinet’s performance challenges. This drastic decision follows intense pressure from relentless anti-tax protests, which forced the president to withdraw the controversial Finance Bill.
This bold move marks a significant shift in Ruto’s administration, as he seeks to address the grievances of Kenyan youths and restore public trust. The protests have been a major challenge for Ruto’s government, and this cabinet shake-up may be a turning point in his presidency.
