End of the road for Cabinet of dollar millionaires
The Cabinet secretaries pose for a picture with Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, President William Ruto, and Prime Minister Musalia Mudavadi on July 4, 2024
President William Ruto dismissed his entire Cabinet with its combined net worth of at least Sh15.83 billion, bringing an abrupt end to one of the most wealthy and unpopular group of ministers in Kenya’s history.
The 24-member team, comprising of 22 Cabinet secretaries, the attorney-general, and secretary to the Cabinet — were sent home following weeks of anti-Finance Bill 2024 and anti-government protests spearheaded by young Kenyans of the Generation Zoomer (Gen Z) age group.
