The names of all Cabinet Secretaries dismissed by President William Ruto on Thursday have been removed from the State House website (www.president.go.ke)
A spot-check on the Cabinet section of the website featured only the names and images of the President, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and Secretary to be Cabinet Mercy Njau.
Gachagua, Mudavadi and Mercy Njau were the only three officials exempted from the surprise Cabinet dissolution.
Attorney General Justin Muturi’s name has also been scrapped from the Cabinet list on the State House website.
President William Ruto on Thursday fired all Cabinet Secretaries and the Attorney General with immediate effect.
Addressing the Nation from State House Nairobi Thursday afternoon, President Ruto said he had resolved to dissolve his Cabinet “upon reflection, listening keenly to what the people of Kenya have said and after a holistic appraisal of the performance of the cabinet and its achievements and challenges.”
He explained that he would engage in extensive consultations across different sectors before reconstituting a new cabinet without providing any timelines.
Ruto in his speech confirmed that the operations of government would continue uninterrupted under the guidance of Principal Secretaries and other relevant officials.
