Riggy G finally addresses Ruto’s cabinet reshuffle

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has downplayed concerns about the recent cabinet reshuffle, saying that it was simply a reorganization to improve service delivery.

In a tweet on the X platform, Gachagua said that there was no need to read too much into the reshuffle, as it was the prerogative of the President to organize and reorganize his team. He also asked those who were given new mandates to work with diligence and commitment.

Gachagua’s comments come after some Kenyans expressed concerns about the reshuffle, particularly the new roles assigned to Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and the changes in responsibilities for certain cabinet secretaries.

“It is the prerogative of the President to organize and reorganize his team. President William Ruto just reorganized his team for effective delivery of service. There is no one who was removed from office. There is no need to read too much into the President’s reshuffle. I kindly ask those who were given new mandates to work with diligence and commitment and ensure that their work is visible to the public.”

It is important to note that the cabinet reshuffle is still a developing story and it is too early to say what its long-term impact will be. However, Gachagua’s comments suggest that the reshuffle is not intended to be a major shake-up of the government, but rather a reorganization to improve efficiency and service delivery.
