President William Ruto will create 15 new ministries to cut public expenditure, following pressure from Gen Z protesters who demanded the dismissal of corrupt Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) and Principal Secretaries (PSs). During a Thursday Cabinet meeting with anxious CSs, Ruto hinted at significant changes in his government. The restructuring will involve merging some ministries and disbanding certain state corporations.

Ruto's reorganization will reduce the number of CSs from 22 to 15. The new ministries will be:

1. Ministry of Defence

2. Ministry of Interior

3. Ministry of Energy

4. Ministry of Health

5. Ministry of Education

6. National Treasury

7. Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation

8. Ministry of Foreign Affairs and East African Community (EAC)
