With reports indicating that President Uhuru Kenyatta is about to reshuffle his cabinet and bring in new faces in order to drive his ‘Big Four’ agenda, heads are expected to roll.
However, it will also be the turning point in the careers of others who may make the cut and become part of the President’s dream team.
According to the Standard, the reshuffle may take place soon with at least four Cabinet Secretaries expected to be shown the door. On the other hand, in the spirit of the handshake, key associates of NASA leader Raila Odinga may be given a political lifeline. So, who could they be?
Former Gem MP and Raila’s cousin, Jakoyo Midiwo, is the favourite man to land a government job which will come as a consolation following his election loss in 2017.
With a long political career and wealth of experience, the former lawmaker’s career may receive a facelift.
Another man who may bounce back is former Muhoroni MP Ayiecho Olweny whose political fortunes took a nosedive in 2017 when his attempt to make a comeback failed.
With Raila’s recommendations, the Olweny who is ODM's Kisumu Chairman could make it to Uhuru’s government.
