Kenyan President William Ruto dismissed most Cabinet ministers due to protests over high taxes and poor governance.

Kenyan President William Ruto dismissed most of his Cabinet ministers and the attorney general, citing the need for a lean and efficient government following weeks of protests over high taxes and poor governance. The dismissals followed recent protests, including storming into parliament, which resulted in over 30 deaths and calls for the president's resignation. The Prime Cabinet Secretary, Musalia Mudavadi, a key political ally, will remain in office. Ministries will be run by their permanent secretaries until a new government is formed.
