Kenyan president fires ministers after anti-tax protests

Kenyan President William Ruto has taken decisive action in response to recent anti-tax protests. He dismissed with immediate effect all his ministers and the attorney-general, except for Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi.

This move comes after widespread demonstrations triggered by an unpopular tax bill. During this transition, the operations of the government will continue under the guidance of Principal Secretaries and other relevant officials. The protests represent the largest crisis of President Ruto’s two-year presidency
