No Cabinet Secretary has been disqualified in a way that would prevent the President from considering their reappointment.
Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Sing’oei and former Law Society of Kenya President Nelson Havi are at odds over the future of recently dismissed Cabinet Secretaries. Havi contends that the dismissals, as outlined in a Gazette Notice issued Wednesday, effectively bar the former CSs from any future public office, likening their status to impeached governors or judges deemed unfit to serve.
Sing’oei, however, offers a different perspective, suggesting that the circumstances surrounding their dismissal may not necessarily prevent their reappointment by the President. He emphasizes that while there are implications, the political calculus involved may influence any potential decisions.
Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi echoes Havi’s stance, emphasizing that the constitutional threshold for dismissal implies serious grounds that could hinder any reappointment by President Ruto, potentially leading to political and constitutional complexities.
This debate over the fate of the dismissed CSs follows President Ruto’s dissolution of the entire cabinet last week amid public concerns. As discussions continue, the political landscape remains charged, with implications for Ruto’s future appointments and his agenda for Kenya’s economic transformation.
During Bishop Allan Kiuna’s burial at JCC Thindigua in Kiambu, Gachagua urged religious leaders to pray for President William Ruto to select individuals who will help fulfill his promises. Gachagua emphasized the importance of appointing humble, non-corrupt, patriotic individuals dedicated to serving the public.
