Kenyan President, William Ruto, has dismissed almost his entire cabinet, and promised to make consultations to form a “broad-based government” following anti-government protests.

In a televised address, Ruto said he decided on the dismissals after reflecting and listening keenly to what the people of Kenya have said and after a holistic appraisal of the performance of my cabinet and its achievements and challenges.

Ruto who clarified that the move affects all ministers including the Attorney-General but excluded Deputy President, Prime Cabinet Secretary and Foreign Minister.

The government is expected to develop “radical programmes” to deal with the country’s huge debt burden, increase job opportunities, eliminate government waste and “slay the dragon of corruption”.
