Political leaders allied to beleaguered deputy preside William Ruto have announced their lack of fear in the face of an impending cabinet reshuffle. They have, however, insisted that the exercise be carried out by President Uhuru Kenyatta in an impartial fashion.
The belief is that this move will see the continuation of political purge that has seen allies of Ruto kicked out of their senate and parliamentary leadership positions. Understandably, it is believed that the impending reshuffle will perpetuate the purge as more Ruto allies will be targeting them under the guise of it targeting members engaging in politics and those who have been underperforming.

Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi, a close ally of Ruto and emergent critic of Uhuru Kenyatta, claimed a new line-up has already been picked; and the President is only waiting to make the changes public.
“We know that they are done constituting a Cabinet reshuffle even though there is nothing going on in the ministries. I even wonder what the picked ministers will be doing with everything stuck. Anyway let them release the names. We are fine with it,”
It has been reported that Uhuru Kenyatta is looking to assemble a team of leaders who will work to secure his legacy once his term in office comes to an end. As a result, a couple of CSs and Chief Administrative Secretaries rumoured to be plotting to run for political office during the next general elections are among those to be axed.
