President William Ruto is preparing to make changes to his cabinet as he works to build a stronger government that can effectively deliver on his promises. At least two cabinet secretaries are expected to be removed in the reshuffle, as Ruto seeks a team that aligns with his vision and priorities.
Since taking office, President Ruto has been focused on setting up a government that can tackle Kenya’s economic challenges and improve the lives of its citizens. However, with the next general election in 2027 already in sight, he is under pressure to ensure that his administration delivers results. To achieve this, he wants a team of leaders who can work efficiently and remain loyal to his goals.
The expected cabinet changes are part of a larger strategy to widen Ruto’s political base and bring in fresh energy. By replacing underperforming or less effective cabinet secretaries, he hopes to improve the government’s performance and win more support from Kenyans. Analysts believe this move could also help him secure alliances with key political figures, which is critical for a strong campaign in 2027.
While the president has not yet named the cabinet secretaries who may lose their positions, there is speculation about who might be affected. This reshuffle could also provide an opportunity for Ruto to reward loyal allies or include representatives from regions that feel underrepresented in his government.
Critics, however, warn that frequent reshuffles can disrupt government operations and delay important projects. They argue that replacing leaders too often might harm stability and reduce the confidence of Kenyans in their government.
