President William Ruto’s administration is facing a potential crisis as reports indicate imminent mass resignations from key government officials. Insiders attribute this to growing dissatisfaction with Ruto’s leadership style, economic challenges, and systemic failures. Several cabinet secretaries, principal secretaries, and heads of parastatals are reportedly considering stepping down, raising concerns about further destabilizing an already fragile administration.
Critics highlight Ruto’s micromanagement approach as a key factor in the unrest, with many officials feeling disempowered and stifled in their roles. “Morale is at an all-time low,” said one senior official. Additionally, ongoing extrajudicial killings by security forces have deepened public unease, with human rights advocates calling for urgent reforms in the police service.
The administration is also grappling with severe economic difficulties, including a cash crunch, reduced tax revenue, and rising debt obligations. Experts warn that without swift action, the government risks financial collapse.
The opposition, led by Raila Odinga, has criticized Ruto’s handling of the situation, fueling public dissatisfaction. As speculation about resignations intensifies, all eyes are on the president to address the governance crisis and restore public trust. The future of Kenya’s political and economic stability remains uncertain.
