President William Ruto's nomination of 50 Chief Administrative Secretaries opens the door to one of the most bloated governments at a time when the state and people are at their most financially vulnerable in decades.

Chief Administrative Secretaries were controversial under the Uhuruto administration. Predictably, Kenya Kwanza promptly walked into a Law Society of Kenya lawsuit last year when they abandoned their promise of a lean, diverse, and professional cabinet and reintroduced this layer.
