The meeting comes days after the newly reconstituted cabinet took an oath of office during an event held at State House.

On July 11, the Head of State dismissed the entire Cabinet except the Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs Musalia Mudavadi following the Gen Z-led anti-government protests.
