Reasons Behind Cabinet Reshuffle
Silvanus Osoro, the majority leader in the National Assembly, disclosed on Saturday that President William Ruto’s latest cabinet change was motivated by the CSs’ ability to manage their workload and perform well in their respective responsibilities. The South Mugirango MP noted in a speech on Saturday in Thika that while some CSs were moved to other ministries, that wasn’t an indication of their competency; rather, it was a necessary step to give a CS a docket based on their capacity, which will help the government fulfill its mandate and election promises.
Osoro used a football analogy to emphasize his point, saying that coaches frequently have to move players across the field to get the most out of them and produce a result.It’s similar to halftime in that a player may be started at the number six spot on the field and later moved because of poor performance.
“Some people have their tasks reduced, while others have their obligations increased. If you recall, the President said that several CSs and PSs were unaware of what was going on in their ministries while the performance contracts were being signed. The South Mugirango MP said that the issue wasn’t one of competence but rather of capacity.Osoro further denied rumors of a split within the government, arguing that the head of state is free to alter his administration as he sees fit.
The Majority Whip was making reference to allegations that the Kenya Kwanza Coalition’s Mt. Kenya branch was dissatisfied with the Cabinet reshuffle.Osoro added that given the President’s interest in service performance, more modifications will be made by the end of the year.”Before December there will be more reshuffles because he is keen on getting the best and most competent people in a particular docket,” he said.On October 4, Ruto reorganized his Cabinet, moving eminent figures to different ministries. Moses Kuria, for instance, was transferred from the Trade docket to the Public Service docket.
Alfred Mutua, a former governor of Machakos, was transferred from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Tourism department. In charge of Mutua’s foreign affairs was Prime CS Musalia Mudavadi.Rebecca Miano, who left the East African Community Ministry to work for Peninah Malonza, who was in charge of Tourism and Wildlife, is replacing Moses Kuria at the Trade docket.Zachariah Njeru, who had previously worked at Lands, took over at Maji House while Alice Wahome was transferred from the Water and Sanitation docket and allocated to the Lands docket.
