President William Ruto now says that his Cabinet could have done better in helping him lead the country.
Speaking on Sunday evening in a media interview, the Head of State said that he will now have to do soul-searching on how to move forward with his cabinet.
When asked whether he has confidence in his cabinet, the President said:
"The Cabinet I have maybe could have done better and I am going to do soul searching on how we are going to move forward."
Nation Media Group's Editor-in-Chief Joe Ageyo, Citizen TV Editorial Director Linus Kaikai and KTN and Spice FM presenter Eric Latiff moderated the interview
The comment came after President Ruto pledged a major shake-up in his administration soon in the wake of a massive uproar from concerned Kenyans who have demanded change.
The President was put to task to explain why he would maintain the same team of advisors yet they are the reason behind some of his unpopular policies, including tax measures.
Without further elaboration, the president pledged to realign his administration to the new realities the country is facing.
"Watch this space," the President said in response to the shake up query.
The President has been under intense pressure to reshuffle his administration amid opinions from a section of Kenyans who claim some appointees have failed to meet the public's expectations.
But the President in a rejoinder said that even though there are mass expectations to kick out some senior officials of his administration, that must be done with a degree of fairness.
Ruto said he would not hesitate to kick out any Cabinet members from office if there is an iota of evidence indicating him or her to any crime.
"I am a fair person and believer in the rule of law. The moment we will have a minister charged in court, believe me, I will take the necessary action," he said.
