President Ruto to address Kenyans at 2pm

State House Press Secretary Emmanuel Talam made the announcement but failed to disclose the agenda.

This comes amid rising anticipation of a Cabinet reshuffle promised by President Ruto after the anti-government protests forced him to vow to heed the demands of vexed Kenyans.

Ruto has also previously promised to dismiss a select group from his advisory team.

"It is something to think about it is something that will exercise my mind. I have heard you and it is something I will think about going into the future. That's a possibility," he said during a round-table discussion with digital journalists.

The address will be his fourth state address in just under three weeks.

On July 5, Ruto announced a raft of austerity measures across various government agencies to align the country’s budgetary expenditure.

He suspended the decision to fill the Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) positions and said that at least 47 government bodies with almost similar mandates will now be dissolved and their staff absorbed into parent ministries.

Ruto further said that the offices of the First Lady, Second Lady and the spouse of the Prime Cabinet Secretary will be starved any budget allocations.
