Kenya’s William Ruto Dismisses Cabinet After Weeks of Chaotic Protests, Promises ‘Lean and Efficient’ Government
The fortunes of Kenya and its President William Ruto have wavered extremely in the last weeks – with the African country becoming the US main African reference, getting the status of ‘major non-NATO ally’, trusted to send policemen under the United Nations banner to tackle the security crisis in Haiti.
But then, in mere days, anarchy befell the Republic, with weeks of bloody protests over high taxes and poor governance.
Now, Ruto went to Television and dramatically dismissed almost all of his Cabinet ministers.
The President promised to form a new government ‘that will be lean and efficient’.
Associated Press reported:
“In a televised address, the president also dismissed the attorney general and said ministries would be run by their permanent secretaries.
