The head of state explained that the move would ensure that the government implements austerity measures.
He suspended the appointment of 50 Chief Cabinet Secretaries and reduced government advisors by 50%. This resulted in fewer advisors across all 21 Ministries.
He also removed the budgetary allocation for First Lady Rachael Ruto and Deputy President’s wife Dorcas Rigathi, whose offices will no longer receive state funding.
