How Kenyans reacted to looming Cabinet reshuffle
Some Kenyans suggested that Ruto could use the Cabinet reshuffle to accommodate Uhuru’s allies, such as former Health CS Mutahi Kagwa, who is rumored to be the next Interior CS.
The Kenya Times:
“When will the country get new interior CS?”
Nicky Mureithi:
“Ministry of Interior imeenda na Mutahi Kagwe….. That is what they met to discuss.”
George T. Diano:
“Anytime from now, expect William Ruto to appoint Mutahi Kagwe as the Interior CS. This is a calculated move to try & hoodwink the public that he has the blessings of Uhuru. Uhuru Kenyatta is not an illiterate fool like Raila Odinga, he’s aware of the reality on the ground.”
Malcolm X-KE:
“This meeting will have casualties in parliament, especially the national assembly.”
George Manyali
“President William Ruto met Raila Odinga: CS Mbadi and Opiyo were appointed to the cabinet. And today, President Ruto met former president Uhuru Kenyatta, who do you think CS internal security will be?”
What did Ngunyi say to Ruto about Mutahi Kagwe? Â
Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has urged President Ruto to appoint Mutahi Kagwe as Health Cabinet Secretary, replacing Deborah Barasa, ahead of an anticipated Cabinet reshuffle.
Kagwe earned significant recognition for his leadership as Health Cabinet Secretary under former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration.
Ngunyi shared on X that Kagwe is well-suited to resolve the health challenges arising from the NHIF-Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) transition. Â
