President William Ruto is reportedly set to conduct a major Cabinet reshuffle which will result in the abolition of about seven ministries.
A front-page publication by a local media house People Daily, citing State House sources suggests that the current 22 ministries will be reduced to 15 in the reorganization.
Remaining ministries include crucial portfolios such as:
I. Ministry of Defence
II. Ministry of Interior
III. Ministry of Energy
IV. Ministry of Health
V. Ministry of Education
VI. National Treasury
VII. Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation
VIII. Ministry of Foreign Affairs and East African Community (EAC)
IX. Ministry of Labour and Public Service
X. Ministry of Affirmative Action, Youth, and Gender
The reshuffle will also introduce new ministries, including:
XI. Ministry for Water, Forest, and Environment

XIV. Ministry of Economic Planning, MITI, SME Cooperatives, Delivery Unit, ICT

The reshuffle will also introduce new ministries: Ministry for Water, Forest and Environment, Ministry of Tourism, Culture, Youth and Sports, Ministry of Infrastructure, Lands, Housing, Public Works, Roads, Ministry of Economic Planning, MITI, SME Cooperatives, Delivery Unit, ICT, and the Attorney General.
President Ruto held a Cabinet meeting at State House, Nairobi on Tuesday with the meeting described as potentially the 'last supper' for seven Cabinet secretaries.
If this anticipated lineup goes through, 15 principal secretaries will lose their jobs and 43 parastatal chiefs will be affected as a result of their roles being scrapped.
Treasury is set to profile parastatals with overlapping mandates as some parastatals will be relocated to parent ministries as departments.
