President William Ruto and appointed Mutahi Kahiga from Nyeri County as cabinet Secretary for Agriculture. His appointment has been seen as a counter to gachagua’s influence there. He has also appointed former Kiambu County Governor Kabogo and former Nakuru County governor Lee Kinyanjui as cabinet Secretaries.
With more appointments from Mount Kenya region, political analysts are having reservations on how Gachagua will convince his people from central not to vote for Ruto. The appointments are seen as a 2027 game Plan that is aimed at making sure he is reelected.
Although former President Uhuru Kenyatta has not spoken publicly if he is supporting President William Ruto. Appointment of his allies to the cabinet has been seen as total assurance of his support to the current administration. Well, lets wait and see what happens next.
