President William Ruto has dissolved his Cabinet, sending home all Cabinet Secretaries and Attorney General.

The decision does not affect Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi.

“I have decided to dismiss with immediate effect all cabinet secretaries and attorney general of the Cabinet of Kenya except the Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs,” Ruto said.

“And of course, the office of the Deputy President is not affected in any way.”

The president said the affairs of the Ministries will henceforth be coordinated by Principal Secretaries until a definitive cabinet is appointed.

The Head of State said the new cabinet will be named after extensive consultations across all sectors.

“I will immediately engage in extensive consultations across different sectors and political formations and other Kenyans both in public and private with the aim of setting up a broad base government that will assist me in accelerating and expediting the necessary urgent and irreversible implementation the program we have including other radical measures to deal with the burden of debt,” Ruto said.
