President William Ruto has announced the immediate dismissal of all Cabinet Secretaries and the Attorney General, excluding only the offices of the Deputy President and Prime Cabinet Secretary.

President Ruto, speaking Thursday afternoon, stated his decision to dissolve the Cabinet was based on thorough reflection and extensive consultation with the people of Kenya. He cited a comprehensive review of the Cabinet’s performance, accomplishments, and challenges as reasons for the drastic action.

“I have, exercising my authority under Article 152(1) and 152(5)(b) of the Constitution, and Section 12 of the Office of the Attorney-General Act, decided to relieve all Cabinet Secretaries and the Attorney General of their duties, except for the Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs,” President Ruto declared.

President Ruto outlined immediate plans to engage in broad consultations across various sectors and political entities to establish a streamlined, cost-effective, and efficient government structure. He pledged to form a new team focused on rapid implementation of strategic initiatives aimed at addressing national debt, enhancing domestic revenue, creating employment opportunities, eliminating bureaucratic redundancies, and combating corruption head-on.
