Ruto factor in delayed Cabinet reshuffle
By Alex Ndegwa
Suspended Higher Education Minister William Ruto is the reason President Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila are yet to reshuffle the Cabinet, The Standard can reveal.
With the 2012 General Election just over a year away, any reshuffle would have political overtones, offering clues on the principalsâ trusted aides heading into the Kibaki succession race.
The two are yet to agree on the fate of the Eldoret North MP, who is accused of crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague.
President Kibaki, whose Party of National Unity (PNU) has been relying on Ruto to act as a foil against the Prime Minister and his Orange Democratic Movement party, wanted to reinstate his Rift Valley wingman after Ruto was cleared of corruption charges by the High Court.
The Standard is in possession of communication from Head of the Civil Service and Secretary to the Cabinet Francis Muthaura to the Attorney Generalâs office regarding Ruto that indicates State House was eager to know if there could be other criminal cases lurking behind the suspended minister.
The two principals had agreed on other ministerial changes requested by the PM, but Raila failed to warm up to the idea of the MP returning to Government, saying Ruto still faced other cases in court of a criminal nature, but Kibaki insisted he was in the clear.
One of Railaâs Rift Valley allies, Tinderet MP Henry Kosgey resigned as Industrialisation minister in January, after being charged with abuse of office over car imports saga. Fisheries Minister Amason Kingi is watching over the docket.
Kibakiâs dilemma
Mr Kosgey was named alongside Ruto, Deputy Prime Minister, Uhuru Kenyatta, Postmaster General, Hussein Ali, radio talk show presenter, Joshua Sang, and Head of the Civil Service, Francis Muthaura, as chief suspects, accused by the ICC of masterminding the post-election violence of 2007-2008.
A source at the Office of the President said Kibaki accepted a request by the Prime Minister for the reshuffle.
"Following the Prime Ministerâs request, the President proposed to Raila that Ruto be returned to the Cabinet following his acquittal over corruption charges by the High Court," said the letter.
They then agreed to seek the opinion of the Attorney General on the issue before conducting the reshuffle.
Permanent Secretary Francis Muthaura on May 19, requesting to confirm if Ruto had any other pending cases, then wrote to Attorney General, Amos Wako.
