Kenya’s President Ruto Dissolves Entire Cabinet
Only the Deputy President and Prime Cabinet Secretary were spared.
Ruto said public sentiment following widespread anti-tax protests sparked by a controversial finance bill prompted the action. Ruto declined to sign the bill but still faced pressure to dismiss non-performing state officers and reduce the size of government and government spending.
“Recent events that necessitated the withdrawal of the finance bill, which will require a review and reorganization of our budget and fiscal management, have brought us to an infection point,” Ruto said in a state address on Thursday.

Ruto said he would consult with different sectors, political formations, and Kenyan citizens to set up a “broad-based government” that will be “lean, inexpensive, and efficient”.
He plans to announce those additional measures later.
