The four, reports the Nation, are said to be holding secret night meetings in which they strategise on how to frustrate Dr Ruto from taking over.

According to the paper, the four ministers whose names could not be immediately established, are keen to ensure the DP is completely displaced.

From Mt Kenya, some of those who made it to cabinet include Joe Mucheru (ICT), Sicily Kariuki (Health), James Macharia (Transport) and Peter Munya (Trade).
