BLOW: DP Ruto Pushed Out Of Cabinet, Uhuru Appoints CS Matiangi To Chair All Crucial Meetings
If the Star headline today is true, then Ruto has effectively been pushed out of the cabinet. Constitutionally(de jure) Ruto is a cabinet member & #2, but the political and operative reality(de facto) is that he is no longer a cabinet member, and will in Uhuru’s next few moves be politically constrained from being of any assistance to tenderpreneurs. Inability to influence tenders does get you politically isolated.
By chairing weekly cabinet meetings, Matiang’i is effectively Uhuru’s de facto number 2. Matang’i is just one more reshuffle from consolidating his position as Uhuru’s number 2, as Ruto allies either get fired or demoted to nondescript portfolios like sports, gender or culture, as Kieleweke allied CSs are elevated to powerful and budget heavy ministries. The next reshuffle will be done by Uhuru in consultation with Matiang’i, which will effectively make it a Matiang’i cabinet, which will be amenable to the performing and forceful Matiang’ i’s whims, aspirations, and wishes.
The next phase, in my estimation and projection, will involve severely punishing Tangatanga ministers by relegating them to useless ministries, then firing them shortly and slowly thereafter.
And with Ruto edged out of cabinet meetings, he is now in all but name out of the Cabinet. He is being fired in phases. Ruto and his myopic and deaf supporters have eyes and ears but will neither see nor hear.
The fake assassination plot letter was a desperado card that showed that Tangatanga team is sprinting, as Uhuru embarks on a marathon. What makes one doubt his Ph.D. is that his range of thinking as exhibited by his faction’s miscalculations remains very narrow and deficient in-depth and analysis, with everything happening as a surprise when even the average Wanjiku saw this coming. What will it take for Ruto to resign, and pave way for Gideon to be named DP?
