President William Ruto will fire at least 15 principal secretaries (PSs) as he consolidates some of the State Departments within various ministries.

The development, which follows the appointment of new cabinet secretaries, will allow President Ruto to appoint a significant number of new PSs, reshuffle existing ones, and send others home as he trims down his government and restructures his Cabinet.

The move comes after the Cabinet met at State House yesterday morning at an event attended by principal secretaries to get to know each other.

Some of the team members who attended the meeting told The Standard that the president introduced the new Cabinet to the principal secretaries after their swearing-in Thursday last week.
