At least four Cabinet Secretaries are reportedly on their way out in a looming Cabinet reshuffle.
According to reports, two of the Cabinet Secretaries are allied to Deputy President William Ruto with the remaining two two on President Uhuru Kenyatta’s side.
Daily Nation on Monday, May 4 reported that a powerful Cabinet Secretary is also to be moved to a lesser ministry.
The Cabinet reshuffle comes after an alleged meeting between Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga, Kenya African National Union (KANU) party leader Gideon Moi and Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) boss Francis Atwoli.
Others said to have attended the meetings are former Cabinet Minister Paul Otuoma and Siaya Senator James Orengo.
According to Tiaty MP William Kamket, the changes were inevitable and would come “in any form, at any time”.
He claims that Ruto had failed in his role of supporting the President.
“Between William Ruto and Raila Odinga, who supports President Kenyatta? Between Gideon Moi and William Ruto, who supports the President’s agenda?
“The answer is clear, these two leaders are not meant to be just choir members in this government when some people viciously attack it.
“The President has been quiet when they make noise, attack him and now it is time to act. He has waited for them to make true their threats and to walk out but they are hesitant. It is now time to kick them out, and it will happen very soon,” he stated.
