President William Ruto held the first 'broad-based' Cabinet meeting at State House Nairobi on Tuesday, September 17.
This was the first cabinet meeting after the swearing-in of the new cabinet members in August 2024.
On Thursday, July 11, President Ruto was forced to dissolve his cabinet following nationwide protests by Gen Z and millennials.
The President said he had acted after an extensive appraisal of the Cabinet's performance.
“During this process, the operations of government will continue uninterrupted under the guidance of Principal Secretaries and other relevant officials,” Ruto said while dismissing his Cabinet.

After dissolving the Cabinet, the President would on Friday, July 19 at State House Nairobi, announce the formation of a 'broad-based' government starting with 11 nominees.
It's in the second batch on Wednesday, July 24, where Ruto surprised many after including four members of ODM in the Cabinet.
Among the nominees was John Mbadi, who was appointed as the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury and Economic Planning, and Opiyo Wandayi who was nominated for the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum.
Additionally, Hassan Joho, the former Governor of Mombasa, was nominated as Cabinet Secretary for Mining, Blue Economy, and Maritime Affairs while Wycliffe Oparanya received a nomination to lead the Ministry of Cooperatives and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises Development.
Since then, the Head of State has rooted for the broad-based government saying “I want to tell fellow leaders that this is not the time for us to be disunited, to think about selfish interests or our political formations. This is the time to think about Kenya. Let us all work together towards transformation, progress, and unity so that we can overcome poverty."
