Soipan Tuya has shocked the nation by resigning as the Cabinet Secretary for Defense.
“It’s with a heavy heart that I step down from my position, but I must now focus on my family. The time has come for me to give my baby the attention and love she deserves,” Soipan Tuya said.
Her resignation has caught many by surprise, especially since she was one of the most trusted figures in President William Ruto’s regime.
Tuya explained her decision in a brief, emotional message, saying, “My baby is my everything. While serving as CS was a great honor, nothing is more important than being there for my child during these crucial years. I hope the country understands my choice, and I believe it’s the right time for me to step aside.”
She further added that her role as a mother has always been her top priority, and now, it is time to embrace that fully.
President William Ruto was left scratching his head, wondering how it was possible that his most dedicated CS could resign over personal matters.
A source close to the president was quoted saying, “It is truly surprising. She was a vital part of our team. We never imagined she would leave the position because of this.”
There are reports suggesting the President may try to convince Tuya to reconsider her decision, but for now, her resignation stands.
Meanwhile, Kenyans are urging President Ruto to take a similar step and prioritize his family.
“If Soipan can leave her powerful position for her baby, then maybe it’s time for the president to think about his own well-being,” said one Kenyan citizen.
Others have gone on social media demanding Tuya’s return, with some even starting online petitions for her to come back to the role.
But wait—today is April 1st, the story about Soipan Tuya’s resignation was just a prank. She has not resigned, and there is no need for concern. As we celebrate this holiday, remember: it was all just for fun!
