Uhuru to Axe Four Cabinet Secretaries in Looming Reshuffle

President Kenyatta is reportedly set to make a mini Cabinet reshuffle that will see four Cabinet Secretaries shown the door.

Two of the Cabinet Secretaries facing the axe are allied to Deputy President William Ruto and two from Uhuru’s side, according to Daily Nation.

In addition, a powerful Cabinet Secretary will be demoted to a lesser ministry in the impending reorganization. 

Daily Nation reports that the changes were mooted in a series of meetings held in homes of various prominent persons in Nairobi’s Karen estate.

Among attendants of the said meetings are ODM leader Raila Odinga, his Kanu counterpart Gideon Moi, and Cotu secretary-general Francis Atwoli. Others are former Funyula MP Paul Otuoma and Siaya Senator James Orengo.

Tiaty MP William Kamket, a close ally of Senator Moi, told Daily Nation that the reshuffle would come “in any form, at any time”.

“Between William Ruto and Raila Odinga, who supports President Kenyatta? Between Gideon Moi and William Ruto, who supports the President’s agenda? The answer is clear, these two leaders are not meant to be just choir members in this government when some people viciously attack it,” said Kamket.

“The President has been quiet when they make noise, attack him and now it is time to act. He has waited for them to make true their threats and to walk out but they are hesitant. It is now time to kick them out, and it will happen very soon,” he added.
