How government will run after Ruto dismissed all Cabinet Secretaries
Ruto tasks Principal Secretaries to run government operations after President Ruto dismissed all Cabinet Secretaries.
President William Ruto on Thursday announced that the government would continue with its normal operations despite the dismissal of his entire Cabinet except Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Prime CS Musalia Mudavadi.
Ruto, who addressed the nation at State House, revealed that Principal Secretaries and other government officials would undertake operations in ministries.
Mudavadi will also continue to hold his role as the CS for Foreign Affairs.
“During this process, the operations of government will continue uninterrupted under the guidance of Principal Secretaries and other relevant officials.
“I will be announcing additional measures and steps in due course,” he stated.
Following the dismissal of the Cabinet Secretaries, Ruto hinted at a unity government.
He expressed that he was keen on forming a new Cabinet that would consider other political formations and the private sector.

Further, the Head of State noted that the new broad-based government would be smaller owing to the current economic state of the country.
The expected government will also be keen on tackling notable issues such as corruption.
“I will immediately engage in extensive consultations across different sectors and political formations, with the aim of setting up a broad-based government that will assist me in accelerating and expediting the necessary, urgent and irreversible, implementation of radical programmes to deal with the burden of debt, raising domestic resources, expanding job opportunities, eliminate wastage and unnecessary duplication of a multiplicity of government agencies and slay the dragon of corruption consequently making the government lean, inexpensive, effective and efficient,” he stated.
