Nairobi, Kenya – Chief of Staff & Public Service Felix Koskei has issued a directive requiring all Cabinet Secretaries to submit the name of one advisor they wish to retain by tomorrow.
Currently, each Cabinet Secretary has two advisors. Moving forward, they will be allowed only one government-employed advisor and two personal staffers.
This directive follows President William Samoei Ruto’s order to reduce the number of government advisors by 50%. In a bid to cut down on State House expenditures and redirect taxpayer money towards national development and other essential public services, President Ruto has made significant changes to the structure of advisory roles within the government.
In addition to reducing the number of advisors, President Ruto has also scrapped the offices of the First Lady, the Second Lady, and the Prime Cabinet Secretary’s spouse.
These measures are part of a broader effort to streamline government operations and ensure that resources are utilized more efficiently for the benefit of the public.
In a related development, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and Commissioners have been tasked with re-bordering regions in Kenya. This includes the potential trimming or addition of counties and constituencies to better serve the needs of the population.
The government’s efforts to cut down on unnecessary expenditures and improve resource allocation are expected to have a positive impact on Kenya’s development and public welfare.
