Kenyan President Ruto Dismisses Nearly Entire Cabinet Amid Protests, 39 Deaths
Jul 11, 2024, 01:37 PM
Kenyan President William Ruto has dismissed nearly his entire cabinet following weeks of anti-government protests. The decision, announced on Thursday, comes after widespread unrest over plans to implement new taxes and poor governance, which led to at least 39 deaths during clashes with the police. The only officials remaining in the cabinet are the Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, and the Foreign Affairs CS. Principal Secretaries will supervise the ministries in the interim. Ruto cited reflection, listening to Kenyans, and a holistic appraisal of his cabinet's performance as reasons for the move. The Attorney General was also dismissed.
