President Uhuru Kenyatta warned his cabinet secretaries the possibility that they may not be retained is very high in a meeting held at his office.
Also present was the Deputy President, William Ruto.
Those battling integrity issues would be axed.
Names of those to be affected were not mentioned.
The president said those with integrity issues new themselves.
These revelations are consistent with the president's inaugural commitment to fighting corruption in his second term.
Forming his cabinet will prove to be a tough balancing act with many competing considerations to be made; bringing on board professionals and the 2022 succession politics.
Cabinet secretaries don't know their fate yet and will be waiting with bated breath for the unveiling of the structure hoping that they will be retained.
Ministries that were affected include the Ministry of Sports whose mismanagement saw Kenya lose the opportunity to host CHAN games.
Kenyatta's second term will be about securing an enduring a lasting legacy.
