The President had warned that he would be sacking cabinet secretaries who under performed or were caught in corruption cases.

Sources say that at least nine cabinet secretaries will not be returning to their dockets in the second and last term of Kenyatta.

Former Mombasa Senator Hassan Omar and Former Budalangi MP Ababu Namwamba are some of the faces from across the political divide that are expected to be joining the new cabinet line up.

Sources indicate that some cabinet members are already assured of return. However, they are not exempted from preparing hand over notes as they may be reshuffled.

The President’s choice of cabinet is also expected to reflect the county’s ethnic diversity especially after what has been termed as divisive elections.
