Saboti Member of Parliament Caleb Amisi has warned of serious consequences as a result of frequent Cabinet reshuffles made by President William Ruto.
Amisi, in a statement shared via his official X account on Thursday, March 27, 2025, said the rapid reshuffles being made by Ruto with no regard to efficiency and competence are a recipe for disaster.
According to him, the frequent changes in the government will create job insecurity among state officers, prompting them to steal as much as they can due to the uncertainty of their jobs.
“Frequent shuffling, reshuffling, and jumbling of the cabinet at a speed faster than lightning, with no regard to efficiency and competence, encourages insecurity among state officers. It creates the idea of taking what you can; the future is not guaranteed,” Amisi warned.
Amisi urges Ruto to rethink strategy
Amisi further urged President Ruto to rethink his strategy and its far-reaching implications for the statecraft of the nation.
“Mobutu of Zaire reshuffled his cabinet 60 times for the period he ruled; I don’t know if that is an example to borrow from. I urge the president to rethink his strategy and its far-reaching implications for the statecraft of the nation. Kenya needs a Renaissance!” Amisi stated.
Ruto reshuffles Cabinet
His remarks come a day after Ruto reshuffled his cabinet in a move that saw Justin Muturi get sacked as public service cabinet secretary.
Ruto nominated Mbeere North MP Geoffrey Ruku to replace Muturi.
Hanna Cheptumo has also been nominated as Gender, Culture, Arts, and Heritage CS, a position Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has been holding in an acting capacity.
“THE TWO nominees are expected to bring to Cabinet not only the knowledge and experience acquired over the course of their illustrious careers but, above all, their wisdom accumulated from their inspiring and diverse life journeys,” a communique from the head of public service, Felix Koskei, issued on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, read.
The reshuffle has also affected CS Aden Duale, who has been moved from the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, and Forestry to the Ministry of Health.
CS Deborah Barasa Mulongo has been moved to the Ministry of Environment.
