Ruto’s Cabinet changes are seen by the Nakuru Catholic bishop as merely cosmetic.
Bishop Cleophas Oseso of the Catholic Diocese of Nakuru has rejected President William Ruto’s recent Cabinet changes, saying they are purely cosmetic and will probably encourage demonstrators from Generation Z.
The outspoken priest charged that rather than developing a roster of experts to assist him in revitalizing the nation’s economy and winning back Kenyans’ trust in his administration, Ruto was recycling those that the public had rejected.
Oseso noted that the nation’s expectations were not met by the President’s 11 Cabinet candidates.
“The new list of Cabinet appointees does not meet the public expectations, and we hope that Parliament will do their part during the vetting process,” stated the president.
The Bishop objected to the opposition’s plan to form a government of national unity, claiming that it would water down the spirit of democracy.
He claimed that a government of national unity would weaken the opposition and contradicted the spirit of the Constitution.
“A country should have a vocal opposition, and we are wondering whose interests these politicians are serving as they seek a government of national unity,” added Mr. Trump.
Addressing the journalists in Kinungi, Naivasha sub-county, after providing food and clothing to the elderly, the bishop stated that the church completely supports Generation Z’s anti-government rallies.
He did, however, criticize police for using excessive force, which has resulted in the deaths of demonstrators as well as the destruction and looting of property throughout the country.
He declared, “As we call for nonviolent protests, we are also calling on the community to remember the elderly who have been forgotten and are suffering as a result of poverty.”
According to Jude Otogo of the Ethel Foundation, their programs for the elderly include health examinations, nutrition counseling, and advocacy because many of them are suffering at home.
He declared, “We are celebrating this day by helping the elderly who have been mistreated, violated, and neglected. We are working in five counties.”
According to Hellen Kuria of Kenya Community Development, one of the main issues that the elderly are currently suffering is neglect.
Margaret Wambui, one of the recipients, said the gifts and visit were a godsend because so many elderly people were going through unspeakable misery.
She remarked, “We are grateful to the church and donors who have supported us during these trying times when many elderly people are thought of as a burden and forgotten.”
