If the courts uphold the impeachment of his Deputy President, Rigathi Gachagua, President William Ruto is planning a significant reorganisation of his Cabinet. According to people close to the administration, the expected changes will impact not only important members of the Cabinet but also Principal Secretary (PS) positions, specifically targeting Gachagua’s loyalists.
By putting loyalists in important posts and lessening Gachagua’s power, this action is interpreted as Ruto’s calculated attempt to bolster his authority. According to analysts, the president is eager to pick people who share his long-term political agenda and policy objectives in order to ensure a more cohesive and controlled administration.
It is anticipated that the possible reorganisation will alter the balance of power in Ruto’s administration, strengthening his hold on authority while marginalising those who support his troubled deputy. According to observers, the decision on Gachagua’s impeachment would be a crucial one that might drastically change the composition of Ruto’s government.
Under Ruto’s leadership, Kenya’s political environment would undoubtedly change if the court upheld the impeachment, which would probably herald a time of increased stability and internal coherence for the government.
