After overhauling the parliamentary leadership, President Uhuru Kenyatta is said to be shifting his focus to his Cabinet in a major shake-up to tap the most experienced hands to drive his heritage plan.

The impending changes have already triggered panic in the Cabinet amidst reports that key allies of Deputy President William Ruto and those nursing 2022 political ambitions will be chopped.

Those aware of the President’s plans say Uhuru is keen to assemble a team of experienced leaders who will work for him “body and soul” as he enters the home stretch of his final term.

The team that will steer Uhuru’s life-and-death fight for a legacy will exclude politicians who have shown any interest in the 2022 general election to avoid divided attention and competing interests.

Some CSs are said to be plotting gubernatorial and presidential ambitions at the expense of helping deliver on the President’s agenda.

Those nursing any 2022 ambitions will be chopped. For instance, any Cabinet Secretary that is currently eyeing for 2022 political seat will not be spared.

Speculations have it that former Bomet governor Isaac Rutto and former Katanga MP Peter Kenneth might be in Uhuru’s kitchen cabinet.

Senate Majority Chief Whip Irungu Kang’ata, a close confidant of the President, confirmed the Cabinet changes could come in less than three weeks.
