Former UDA vice chairman Kipruto Arap Kirwa has claimed that President William Ruto will overhaul his cabinet to secure his reelection prospects

The former cabinet minister said the president will fire his allies in government when he realises that they could pose a big danger to his second term bid.

Speaking in an interview with KTN on Friday morning, Kirwa claimed that controversial Trade Cabine Secretary Moses Kuria could be among those who would face the sack.

“Ruto does not care about anyone else but his interest. And when he realizes Moses Kuria is the roadblock to his second term, he is going to sack him and any other person,” Kirwa said.

“Today if he was to sack Moses Kuria all of us will be celebrating including the media. And whatever you say as the media is likely to have a lot of leverage in the minds of many Kenyans. And with those sackings, he might actually earn a second term. And that’s my worry.”

He went on to say that Ruto is going to fire most of the officials in government who are involved in corruption, to prove that he is doing his job.

“Some of the ministers celebrating that they are doing well with William. They are just being prepared for slaughter," he said.

“And in the near future they are going to be slaughtered as a way of justifying that William has already done what he promised including issues of corruption.”

He said that there is no regime that does not have any information about their ministers who have been committing crimes through corruption.
