Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria says he’s ready to face consequences if the current Cabinet is dissolved.
His statement follows calls from Senators for President William Ruto to dissolve the Cabinet to tackle the country's challenges.
"Why dissolve the Cabinet? Is it because of perceived underperformance? If so, I'm not afraid of dissolution," Kuria said in an interview on KTN News on Wednesday, July 3.
He noted his track record, saying, "If the verdict is Moses Kuria must leave, I'll be the first to agree. But it's time for action, not just plans."
Kuria voiced frustration over the execution of ministry plans, calling for faster implementation.
"We're running out of time. We can't afford bureaucratic delays. Let's focus on delivery for tangible results," he added.
He criticised past practices of placing personal gain over public service, urging a change in mindset or facing consequences.
"I believe in organic, heartfelt austerity measures. We must show it possible and welcome new ideas," he noted.
At the same time, Senators led by Boni Khalwale are advocating for an overhaul of the Cabinet.
Khalwale, addressing the Senate on Wednesday, July 3, criticised non-mandated offices like that of the Prime Cabinet Secretary and the First and Second Ladies.
"Mr President, dissolve and reconstitute the Cabinet. Disband unconstitutional offices," he urged.
Senator Enoch Wambua echoed these sentiments, calling for reducing the number of Cabinet secretaries from 21 to 14 to curb government expenditure.
"Let's demonstrate responsiveness to public concerns," he stated during the Senate session.
"Why maintain 21 Cabinet Secretaries for a population of less than 60 million, especially given our economic constraints?"
