Tension in Ruto’s Government as Plans Emerge to Fire Senior State Officer from His Role Over Alleged Laziness

Tension is reportedly building within the Kenya Kwanza administration following claims that a senior State official may be removed from office after the 2027 General Election.

According to a report by Daily Nation published on Friday, insiders within the ruling coalition allege that some leaders have already agreed that the official will not retain his position after the next polls.

The issue has sparked debate within government circles, with some leaders insisting that a leadership shake-up is necessary to improve efficiency and strengthen service delivery.

The Daily Nation further reports that several leaders within the Kenya Kwanza administration have accused the senior State officer of being lazy and failing to fully support government programmes.

Sources cited in the report claim that the official has not been fully aligned with the government’s development agenda and has not been active in key empowerment initiatives aimed at improving livelihoods.

They further allege that he has frequently missed important government functions and has shown limited involvement in major national projects, raising concerns about his commitment to public service.

One leader reportedly said the government needs hardworking and dedicated individuals who can deliver results for Kenyans.

These allegations, according to insiders, have fueled concerns that his performance has slowed down progress and negatively affected the government’s image.

As a result, there are claims that some leaders are already planning to replace him after the 2027 elections.

However, the situation reportedly changed after the official learned of the alleged plan to remove him from office.

According to the Daily Nation, he has now begun appealing to senior leaders within the government to give him another chance to serve.

He is said to have promised to improve his performance, become more active, and fully support government programmes moving forward.

In an effort to demonstrate loyalty, the official reportedly supported a candidate who recently won a by-election, a move seen by political observers as an attempt to rebuild trust within the ruling coalition.
