Kenyan President William Ruto has taken a significant step by dismissing almost all of his Cabinet ministers in response to weeks of protests over high taxes and poor governance. In a televised address, President Ruto announced the removal of Cabinet ministers and the attorney general, emphasizing his commitment to forming a new government that is lean and efficient.
The decision to dismiss the Cabinet came after widespread unrest in the country, with protesters expressing dissatisfaction with the government's performance. The protests, which escalated following the passage of a finance bill proposing tax increases, resulted in more than 30 deaths and calls for the president's resignation.
