Political responsibility for corruption, poor performance, lack of political clout and the search for the ever-elusive regional balance in national representation are factors likely to put the fate of about ten Cabinet Secretaries in the balance, as a major reshuffle looms.

The boldest indications of the changes in Cabinet and several other government offices were let out by Opposition leader Raila Odinga on Tuesday when he promised 17 MPs from Western Kenya led by Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya that he will ensure they benefit from the appointments.
