Kenyan President dismisses nearly entire cabinet after violent protests.

Kenyan President William Ruto has made a bold move by sacking almost his entire cabinet in the wake of deadly protests in the country. The protests were sparked by the withdrawal of a controversial tax bill, which was met with strong opposition from the public.

President Ruto stated that his decision to dismiss his ministers and the attorney-general was made after carefully listening to the concerns of the Kenyan people and conducting a thorough evaluation of his cabinet. He emphasized the need for a broad-based government and expressed his intention to consult widely in order to form a new cabinet.

Although the dismissal does not include the deputy president, who is protected from being fired by law, and the prime cabinet secretary who also serves as the foreign affairs minister, the move signifies a significant shake-up in the government.

This development comes at a critical time for Kenya, as the country grapples with political and economic challenges. It remains to be seen how President Ruto’s decision will impact the future direction of the nation.
