What Moses Kuria hinted about Cabinet reshuffle On Monday, December 9, the president held a closed-door meeting with his predecessor, Uhuru Kenyatta, in Gatundu.
The surprise meeting between the two leaders attracted mixed reactions from Kenyans, with some claiming Uhuru had agreed to front his allies for Cabinet slots. Taking on X, Kuria shared a coded message directly linked to the meeting between Ruto and Uhuru. Without giving more details, the former Trade Cabinet Secretary, hinted that there could be a major announcement at 4pm on Tuesday, December 10.
In his post, Kuria asked Kenyans to be ready with a pen and a notebook, adding that some should consider arming themselves with popcorn. “4pm tomorrow. Pen and notebook required. Plus lots of popcorn,” Kuria said. Kuria’s post fuelled more speculations that President Ruto was planning to announce more changes in his government.
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 rumoured 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?”
