Kenyan President Fires Cabinet Amidst Protests and Controversy

Date:

Kenyan President William Ruto has fired almost his entire cabinet, including all cabinet secretaries and the attorney general, amidst ongoing anti-government protests. The move follows the recent withdrawal of an unpopular tax bill, which was met with deadly protests.

While the president claims the firing was a result of “reflection” and “listening to Kenyans”, many are skeptical about the true motives behind this sudden move. The exceptions to the firing, including the deputy president and prime cabinet secretary, raise further questions.

Furthermore, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s public praise for the Kenyan youth’s protests and offer of assistance have added to the complexity of the situation.

The president’s plan to form a smaller government and potentially co-opt the opposition has raised concerns about the concentration of power and the potential for further authoritarianism.

As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen what the true intentions behind this move are and what impact it will have on the people of Kenya.
