President William Ruto has vowed to form an all-inclusive government after dissolving his cabinet.

The president disbanded his cabinet and only maintained Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, following public pressure, and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, whose position is protected by the constitution.

Eyes are now on him as to how he will compose the next cabinet, and while speaking at Kaptagat on Saturday, July 13, 2024, he promised to form a government with a national outlook.

“Katika hii mpango yote ya kupeleka Kenya mbele, mimi nataka niulize wakenya wote tuungane. Tumepanga mambo ya TVET, tumepanga mambo ya university education, na tumepanga mambo ya kilimo kwa sababu Kenya must succeed.

“Sasa tutaanzisha serikali ingine ambayo itatupeleka mbele, ambayo itatusaidia mawili; ya kwanza kuongeza kasi kwa ile programme tuko nayo. Ya pili ni ku expand the programmes that we have so that we can drive the transformation of our country together,” Ruto said.

With speculation rife that Ruto could bring in members from outside his own political circle, he has made it clear that he will dialogue with other leaders before composing his next cabinet.

“I must say this clearly and loudly: it is a moment in history as a nation that we must come together because the transformation of Kenya cannot wait or be shortchanged. We must work together as a people kwa sababu the success of Kenya is our collective success.

“Na kwa hivyo mimi nimesema nitaongea na viongzi wote tuungane na tuhakikishe tunatengeneza serikali ambayo itabeba wakenya wote. Na itafanya kazi sio ya ubinafsi, sio ya chama fulani, sio ya kikundi fulani, na sio ya sehemu fulani.

“Nataka niwaulize nyinyi watu wa Kaptagat na Elgeiyo-Marakwet, mtanipatia nafasi ya kuunda serikali ya Kenya yote? Tupeleke Kenya mbele? Mnasema niunde hio serikali ya kuunagnisha jamii zote za Kenya? Ya kuunagnisha wakenya wote?

“Kwa sababu nyinyi ndio kusema, mimi nitapanga hio maneno,” he promised.

The Head of State also vowed to launch a fight against corruption, as he believes the vice hinders the transformation of the country.

“Tunataka kukomesha ufisadi na kuhakikisha wafisadi wote tunawakomesha na kuwasafirisha. Ndio tuhakikishe kwamba Kenya inapiga hatua ya kwenda mbele,” he continued.

As more protests are planned against his government, President Ruto asked Kenyans to be cautious not to be incited and destroy the country.

“Vile vile nataka niulize wakenya ya kwamba, nchi tuko nayo ni moja na hatuna spare. We have only one country called Kenya without a spare nation. Kwa hivyo tusikubali hii Kenya tunayo iletewe fujo, iletewe maafa, wakenya wapoteze maisha, na mali tuharibu kwa sababu ya mambo ya siasa.

“Hatuna nchi ingine ya kuhamia, sisi wote tuko hapa. We must protect this nation, all of us, and therefore I want to ask all Kenyans that we work together,” he concluded.
