Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has urged President William Ruto to be unpredictable to cabinet secretaries (CSs).
In an update via Twitter on Tuesday, August 1, Ngunyi told the Head of State to occasionally fire a CS or a Principal Secretary.
“Dear Ruto: Keep your ministers in suspended terror. Be unpredictable. You should occasionally fire a minister or PS for no good earthly reason,” Ngunyi tweeted.
He gave referred to late President Daniel Moi who fired his confidant Philip Mbithi after they spent time reshuffling the cabinet.
“Prof Mbithi was fired by Moi on Radio after they had spent a whole evening reshuffling the cabinet. There was no reason. Just terror,” Ngunyi added.

This comes after President Ruto locked out several Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries, and parastatal heads for turning up late signing of performance contracts at State House.
Speaking during the event, the President demanded that members of the executive who were late for the State House event write an explanation.
"If you cannot keep time with your employer, you have basically dismissed yourself. For those who came late who are members of the Executive, I will be expecting a written explanation and it should not include matters of traffic, on why they do not take these performance contracts seriously because if you don't take this matter seriously, it means we don't take the contract with Kenyans on performance seriously," Ruto stated.
Reports indicate that among the cabinet secretaries who were locked out include Moses Kuria and Kithure Kindiki.
