DP Ruto's Next Move After Being Left in Charge by President Uhuru Kenyatta ¶
President Uhuru Kenyatta is currently in the United States attending the 74th United Nations General Assembly, where he is expected to discuss the impact of climate change.
With the President away, Deputy President William Ruto has taken over as the acting head of state.
However, a social media user has called on DP Ruto to make three key decisions, including sacking the Interior Cabinet Secretary Karanja Kibicho and replacing him with Ndindi Nyoro, a close ally of the Deputy President.
According to the social media user, Kibicho should be fired and replaced by Nyoro, who is a strong supporter of DP Ruto.
"Kibicho should be fired and his position given to Ndindi Nyoro," the social media user wrote.
But that's not all, the social media user also wants DP Ruto to sack the Interior Cabinet Secretary and replace him with Nyoro, and also wants the DCI George Kinoti to be transferred to Wajir as the OCPD.
"Anafaa pia ampe uhamisho waziri Matiang'i kutoka wizara ya Usalama wa Ndani mpaka ile ya Maji na mahali pake kuchukuliwa na Jelungui (waziri wa maji Simon Chelugui). DCI Kinoti anafaa kushukishwa mamlaka na atumwe Wajir kama OCPD," the social media user wrote.
While the social media user's call may seem like a joke, it highlights the perceived close relationship between DP Ruto and some top government officials, including Kibicho, Matiang'i, and Kinoti.
It's worth noting that the social media user's call is not the first time that there have been calls for Kibicho to be sacked, with some critics accusing him of being too close to DP Ruto.
However, it's unclear whether DP Ruto will take any action against Kibicho or the other officials mentioned.
