Uhuru Sends All Cabinet Members on 11-Day Leave Amid Reports of Looming Reshuffle
President Kenyatta has sent all Cabinet Secretaries (CSs), Principal Secretaries (PSs) and Chief Administrative Secretaries (CASs) on 11-day leave.
The recess period starts on August 17th and ends on August 28th, during which no Cabinet meetings will be held unless otherwise directed by the president.
“…during the working recess, members of the cabinet will still be required to undertake their ministerial portfolio responsibilities and attend to any presidential engagements arising from or ancillary to their ministerial mandate…” Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua said in a memo to all CSs, PSs, and CASs.
“…during the working recess, members of the Cabinet shall be allowed to take leave from office, subject to prior approval of the President and receipt of Presidential clearance with respect to any travel by the member of Cabinet to any destination outside of the territory of the Republic of Kenya…,” he added.
As a result, the next Cabinet meeting chaired by President Kenyatta will be held on September 3rd, a week after the working recess elapses.
The development comes amidst reports of a looming Cabinet reshuffle that could see allies of ODM leader Raila Odinga, Senator Gideon Moi, and Wiper chief Kalonzo Musyoka appointed to government.

@Uhuru, Fire all of them beginning with DP Ruto! There are many hard working Kenyans across the divide who are willing to work for the people! These folks are making you look like an “ass” Mr President!
We don’t understand why it has resulted to you inspecting the on going projects at night! Really, really and reallyyyyy!!!
We want Ruto fired! There is no staying on the job that the man is not doing. There is no law in the land that says you cannot be fired because you are tenured to steal from the people. No one should be kept in a job if he/she is not working!
Fire Ruto Mr President and ignore the courts if they try to put him back! The judiciary is the most corrupt in Kenya anyway, and Ruto got Maraga in his pocket! They both steal together!
You can’t have Kenyans paying our tax money to a DP who is on public leave to tend to his selfish campaigns and raising chicken in Sugoi! Get rid of Ruto with his non-performing group (team ruto) with the government that he now want to tell us it is the deep state while he is in it!
When did a DP have his own group within the same government that you are the president!? Seriously, we the people want to know how that is possible?
They do not deserve to be CSs in the great Republic of Kenya! They have stolen enough, and they have been asleep on the job! Have no mercy on anyone of them! Get rid of all of them pronto!! Hire folks who wants to move the country forward! Wao ni Bure kabisa!!
We are still waiting to know what happened to DP Ruto’s illegal weapons scam (Shs 400 billion) with Echesa and the progress in the murder investigations of Kenei!
Like we've commented before,
The swords are drawn, let the fight begin.
@Uhuru - don’t forget to fire CS Charles Keter! This man cost Kenyans billions of shillings drilling non- existent oil reserves in the northern collider!
We build roads and towns started mushrooming in the area only to find out that he was executing a sham project with Tural! What is the job of energy CS? To make sure proper feasibility study and research is thoroughly conducted before initiating an expensive project - that he did not do!!
He cost Kenyans their livelihood and wasted out taxes. The cost of electricity keep going up. The price of gasoline is unbearable, installed transformers never works properly, etc. This one man got to go!!
