Makueni Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr. has raised pointed questions about President William Ruto’s cabinet selections, casting doubt on whether the appointments were justified. In a recent statement, Kilonzo Jr. questioned the rationale behind the cabinet picks, particularly in light of the political unrest and demonstrations that have resulted in violence and deaths among young people.
He expressed concern that the sacrifices made by youth during the demonstrations seemed to have led to a situation where leaders from the Azimio coalition are now occupying key positions in the government. Kilonzo Junior questioned whether the appointment of these leaders to influential roles was a fair outcome of the political struggle and the unrest that ensued.
His remarks reflect a broader discontent with how the current administration’s cabinet choices align with the sacrifices made by ordinary citizens and the expectations of political accountability.
The governor’s comments tap into ongoing frustrations regarding the perceived rewards and consequences of political engagements and public protests. By linking the cabinet appointments to the loss of lives during demonstrations, Kilonzo Jr. is challenging the legitimacy of these selections and calling into question the fairness of the political and administrative process.
His statement underscores a growing sentiment among some political leaders and the public that the cost of political struggles should be reflected in a more accountable and transparent governance approach.
