The Star learnt yesterday that Kenyatta and Ruto have been consulting on the people they hope to name to the new-look Cabinet – as early as next week.

"The two are convinced that a fresh start is the way to go and are actively looking for replacements," said a source familiar with the goings on.

Ruto has been holding long meetings in his Karen office with his allies, the President's personal aide Jomo Gechaga, State House Comptroller Lawrence Lenayapa and Kericho Senator Charles Keter.

It emerged yesterday that Ruto may not have been fully aware in advance of the action that President Kenyatta took on corruption last week.

According to sources, Uhuru shared the text of State of the Nation Address with Ruto only that morning but later amended it to include the issues related to passing on the EACC anti-graft list to Parliament

Ruto's face in the Gallery was that of someone who had received news like any other person. He even took longer to stand up as MPs stood up to cheer the President

The issue is said to have triggered a silent war in Jubilee, with some seeing the President as using this opportunity to drop baggage ahead of the 2017 elections.

Jubilee government works as a team & together as one. Far fetched theories of the Star now that they have nothing to write about Baba.

What are you seeing? A Gideon replace Ruto? A Kalooser getting some CS job.

Am seeing it going that way....if UK hacks this he will definitely be a 2 term president and I will vote for him next general elections.
