Reshuffle Looming As Ruto Ally Removed From WhatsApp Group

KTN News has reported that Dr. Isaac Mwaura, the Government Spokesperson, has been removed from the State House WhatsApp group.

This has fueled speculation that he may be dismissed soon. The report suggests that a fallout between President William Ruto and Mwaura may have been triggered by recent criticism from bishops.

It is alleged that Mwaura failed to provide clear communication, leaving ministries to respond separately on key issues. Sources claim this lack of coordination angered the president, leading to his removal from the WhatsApp group.

This development comes as rumors of a major government reshuffle continue to grow. President Ruto recently hinted at making changes to create a more inclusive government. Speaking at a church service in Soweto, Nairobi, Ruto said he wanted a broad-based administration that represents all Kenyans. He promised to eliminate tribalism and introduce new faces in government.

The removal of Mwaura is seen as a signal that the reshuffle could be closer than expected. Insiders suggest that changes could affect Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries. The Ministry of Gender, Arts, and Culture, left vacant after Stella Soi Lang’at’s nomination was rejected, is one of the positions likely to be filled.

KTN News added that Mwaura’s strained relationship with key figures in State House contributed to his downfall. His removal is viewed as part of broader efforts by Ruto to streamline communication and ensure loyalty within his administration.
