President William Ruto has announced sweeping changes to his Cabinet, replacing four Cabinet Secretaries just weeks before the national budget is tabled in Parliament. The reshuffle, seen as a realignment of the administration’s economic priorities, is set to take effect immediately.
Who’s In, Who’s Out
Sources within State House confirmed that the Ministries of Finance, Energy, Health, and Agriculture are the most affected. The President is expected to address the nation later today to explain the rationale behind the changes.
Opposition Reacts
The opposition Azimio coalition has dismissed the move as a distraction, with leader Raila Odinga calling it “rearranging deck chairs on a sinking ship.” Meanwhile, Kenya Kwanza allies have praised the President’s decisiveness.
What This Means for Kenyans
Analysts say the timing is significant. With cost-of-living pressures mounting and the IMF review looming, the incoming Cabinet faces immediate pressure to deliver tangible economic relief.
