[File, Standard]A new purge targeting "rebel MPs' and other key leaders who defied party lines and supported former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua during his impeachment is now on the way. The purge is determined to punish Gachagua’s allies serving in the Cabinet, Principal Secretaries as well as parastatals. The expected purge has triggered intense lobbying for positions that are vacant or are about to be, once President Ruto starts wielding his axe. Leaders from Nyeri have been pushing for the Interior docket to be given to one of their own, following the appointment of Kithure Kindiki to replace Gachagua. “Most of the leaders feel Kagwe is sober and will work efficiently just like Kindiki who served diligently in the Interior docket,” Maina said.
