On July 11, President William Ruto addressed the nation highlighting some of the wins his administration has achieved thus far but in a twist, dismissed his entire Cabinet save for Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi. In a gazette notice released Wednesday, the President highlighted reasons that informed his decision to send home his entire Cabinet. In the gazette notice, Ruto repeated what he said while announcing the dismissal of the CSs where he said he had reflected and listened keenly to what Kenyans had said in light of the mass protests. In reorganising his government, Ruto further said that he had considered the need to review his Cabinet to enhance efficiency, effectiveness, transparency and accountability in public service delivery. In the same gazette notice, Ruto designated Prime CS Musalia Mudavadi as the overall acting CS in all the vacant ministerial posts.
