President William Ruto has finally bowed to pressure from Kenyans and dismissed his entire cabinet, sending home all Cabinet Secretaries and Attorney general.

Addressing the nation on Thursday, Ruto noted that the Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi who is also the Secretary for foreign affairs is the only one who will remain in office.

"Upon reflection and listening keenly to what the people of Kenya have been saying and after holistic appraisal of the performance of my Cabinet and its achievements and challenges,  I have decided to dismiss with immediate effect all cabinet secretaries and attorney general of the Cabinet of Kenya except the Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs," Ruto said.

Adding ""And of course, the office of the Deputy President is not affected in any way."

Ruto said the affairs of the Ministry will be run by Principal Secretaries as he plans to appoint a new cabinet.

"I will immediately engage in extensive consultations across different sectors and political formations and other Kenyans both in public and private with the aim of setting up a broad base government that will assist me in accelerating and expediting the necessary urgent and irreversible implementation the program we have including other radical measures to deal with the burden of debt," Ruto said

For the last few weeks angry Kenyans have been taking to  the streets and social media urging the President to dissolve the cabinet saying it is marred by bad governance and allegations of corruption.
