President Ruto is expected to make significant Cabinet changes if the impeachment of his deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, is upheld by the courts. According to insiders, these changes will not only impact the Cabinet but also extend to Principal Secretary (PS) positions. Ruto is reportedly planning to remove key allies of Gachagua from strategic government posts.
This potential reshuffle signals Ruto’s intent to consolidate his leadership and distance his administration from Gachagua’s influence. Analysts speculate that the changes could allow Ruto to appoint individuals more aligned with his policy goals and political strategy, while sidelining those loyal to his embattled deputy.
The court’s ruling on Gachagua’s impeachment is expected to significantly alter the political landscape within Ruto’s government. If upheld, the President’s move to reorganize the leadership could redefine the power dynamics within his administration. The decision could also send a message about the stability of key positions within Ruto’s government, suggesting a move toward greater internal control and coherence in governance.
