President William Ruto appears headed for another clash with the youth after many Kenyans expressed displeasure about his first batch of 11 Cabinet Secretary nominees.

A number of Kenyans said the President failed to address the concerns that compelled him to fire his Cabinet. They accused him of recycling his former Cabinet secretaries while also rewarding politicians.
