President Uhuru Kenyatta is set to kick out several Cabinet Secretaries, Chief Administrative Secretaries and other top government officials, a source has revealed.
In October days to Mashujaa Day, Uhuru was expected to name new people to his government but held back his plan for unknown reasons.
Those who will be affected, the source says, are victims of incompetence and corruption, a move Uhuru believes will redeem the image of his government.
"What I can assure you is that a number of ministers will be kicked out along with CAS and top civil servants. The president is concerned that some of these guys have been mentioned in graft related cases or incompetence. It's just a matter of weeks if not days," said the officer, who spoke in confidence.
Over the weekend at Kisii, Deputy President William Ruto hinted the expected massive sacking when he said government will not continue working because of incompetence.
He insisted that lazy and corrupt individuals do not have a room in his own government, a move that further hints possible sacking.
"As government, we shall not relax until we deliver, those who are not ready for the journey, prepare to be axed. We have many Kenyans who can do the job."
In July, Uhuru met Raila Odinga at the Coast and news about possible cabinet reshuffle were leaked to the media. However, State House spokesperson Kanze Dena denied knowledge of Uhuru's planned reshuffle.
