A seismic shift is underway as Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi reveals President William Ruto's commitment to assembling a new Cabinet of “exceptional competence and integrity.”
This announcement follows the dramatic dismissal of all Cabinet Secretaries, signalling a robust reformation strategy aimed at restoring public trust and reshaping governance.
During a critical diplomatic engagement, Mudavadi outlined the President's vision for a government that is inclusive and representative of Kenya's diverse populace.
He emphasised that the forthcoming nominees will not only reflect high standards of competence but will also embody integrity—essential qualities in the face of rising public expectations and pressing national challenges.
Mudavadi’s remarks came after Ruto's decisive action on July 11, which saw the dismissal of Cabinet Secretaries and the Attorney-General, excluding only the Prime Cabinet Secretary and the Foreign Affairs CS.
This move is a strategic exercise of presidential power, aimed at revitalising the Executive and renewing citizen confidence in its leadership.
“The President is steadfast in his resolve to deepen public participation, fostering a governance structure that champions equity across various social strata,” Mudavadi stated.
By advocating for a broad-based government, the President aims to expedite the implementation of transformative initiatives essential for expanding job opportunities and stimulating economic growth.
Mudavadi highlighted that the reform process is intrinsically linked to national unity, peace, and prosperity, aligning closely with the administration's Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda. This approach is set to reflect the aspirations of ordinary Kenyans, ensuring that their voices are heard and considered in the governance process.
The Prime Cabinet Secretary assured international partners that, despite the Cabinet overhaul, government operations would remain uninterrupted.
Principal Secretaries and relevant officials are poised to guide the state’s functions, maintaining diplomatic relations and ongoing projects.
“This restructuring is not merely an administrative exercise; it is a profound commitment to genuine governance that prioritises the will of the people,” Mudavadi asserted.
The Cabinet reshuffle is seen as a direct response to the citizens' clamour for transparency and accountability within the government.
