Being a member of President William Ruto’s Cabinet is akin to a game of musical chairs; only that some seats are reserved for specific players who never drop out.

Kipchumba Murkomen, Aden Duale and Davis Chirchir are the players who only change their positions in the same field. No matter how incompetent, nonchalant or rogue they may become, it is only the chair they use that changes. They still win the game even when losing.
