Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka is likely to make a comeback into cabinet after six years in could, it has now emerged.
President Uhuru Kenyatta is expected to make changes after days of speculation that marred his July Mombasa trip.
"I have just heard from the media. Perhaps you're in the right position to explain to us about the changes," spokesperson Kanze Dena argued, adding that the coast stay had nothing to do with changes.
During his stay, Uhuru reportedly met opposition leader Raila Odinga and Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho for a closed door meeting at Vipingo Ridge Hotel.
And days later, Sports Cabinet Secretary Rashid Achesa accused Raila of instigating cabinet reshuffle, a claim the opposition leader denied.
But award winning journalist Nyambega Gisesa, who doubles as National Media Group reporter and Nyamira Communication officer, said that the changes could be effected before or after Jamhuri Day.
"Kalonzo Musyoka to be named in Uhuru's cabinet. The changes likely to be effected before or days after Mashujaa Day," he said, adding that the move aims at improving cohesiveness and unity within the country.
Later on this week, Uhuru will preside over Mashujaa Day celebrations at Bukhungu stadium in Kakamega.
In September, Kalonzo was among high profile leaders in President Uhuru Kenyatta's delegation to China, a meeting he defended in a TV interview.
"There is nothing wrong being part of Presidential delegation. As a former senior government official, I can still offer help when necessary," he said on Citizen TV.
Last week, Kalonzo was among leaders who paid President Uhuru courtesy call in State House where the sugar farmers crisis was discussed in broad.
At least five ministers implicated in various graft scam among the Henry Rotich of Treasury and East Africa Community's Adan Mohammed were rumoured to be among those facing inevitable sack.
The smooth working relationship between the opposition and government was engineered by Raila Odinga when he reconciled with Uhuru in March after a protracted electioneering period.
