President William Ruto has indicated that he will begin the process of forming a new cabinet from next week after dismissing all CSs except the Prime CS on July 11.

Speaking in Kuresoi South, Nakuru County, on Monday, July 15, the Head of State disclosed that he was forming a team that was going to bring the nation together.

"I want to assure you that we are forming a team. From next week, I will start arranging the government," President Ruto remarked.

He noted that he was willing to consult with leaders in forming the new cabinet but maintained that he would not force anybody.

"I am ready, willing and available to consult with as many leaders who are willing to consult with us so that we can form a government that is going to bring Kenya together. But if there's anyone who doesn't want that, we won't force them. Kenya is a democratic country," the president said.
