President William Ruto on Friday dismissed calls by a section of the public to dissolve the whole cabinet and make fresh appointments
President William Ruto on Friday dismissed calls by a section of the public to dissolve the whole cabinet and make fresh appointments.
The Head of State while speaking during a live session on X space, clarified that he would consider other means of addressing matters raised by the public against some of the cabinet secretaries.
According to Ruto, he had already lined up several interventions to address controversies that marred the reputation of his cabinet.
“I will not dissolve Cabinet because I am in the process of looking at things differently,” President Ruto clarified.
However, President Ruto warned cabinet secretaries against engaging in corrupt activities stating he was ready to fire any minister taken to court over graft allegations.
“Several staff of the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) are in court to answer for their involvement in the fertilizer scandal. The day any CS is taken to court, I will fire them,” Ruto stated.
“If there are verified allegations against a minister or any state official and they are taken to court, I will fire them. I will not wait for the court process,” he added.
While addressing Kenyans on the X space, Ruto also vowed to take action on alleged police abductions and maltreatment of suspects arrested in anti-government demos.

Ruto’s clarification comes against the backdrop of calls by the public for the dismissal of some of the Cabinet Secretaries on account of alleged non-performance.
During the recent anti-government protests, among the demands that were raised by the protesters was a call for the Head of State to crack the whip on some of the government officials.
Ruto’s sentiments follow barely a day after senators called for the immediate dismissal of all cabinet secretaries over allegations of incompetency.
The senators led by Kakamega lawmaker Boni Khalwale called for the disbandment of unconstitutional offices within the government including the office of Prime Cabinet Secretary.
