President William Ruto is said to be facing a difficult moment as he tries to find a way to bring Gideon Moi and his allies into his government.

The process has not been easy, especially when it comes to creating a suitable position for Moi within the cabinet.

Although it might be simpler to fix some of the new loyalists in other high-ranking offices, the main challenge lies in the cabinet’s size, which is limited to 22 members by the constitution.

At the moment, all cabinet slots are filled. For any new member to join, someone else must leave or be moved.

According to sources close to State House, the president may soon target underperforming cabinet members and those with low public appeal.

Such individuals are believed to be at risk of being dropped, reshuffled, or reassigned to other government roles.

Reports also suggest that some may be sent to diplomatic missions as a way of giving them what insiders describe as “respectable exits.”

These possible changes have created unease within the cabinet, as some ministers reportedly fear losing their influence and access to the president’s inner circle.

Even though talk of a cabinet reshuffle has intensified, there is still uncertainty about how many officials could be affected and how many of Moi’s allies will eventually find space in government.

Earlier reports indicated that a few permanent secretary and ambassadorial positions had already been reserved for Gideon Moi’s camp, though this remains unconfirmed.

President Ruto has already made several changes to his cabinet since taking office, with some insiders saying this latest round could be the most politically sensitive yet as he tries to maintain balance between loyalty, performance, and political alliances
