Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>A section of President William Ruto\u2019s Cabinet had a rough time this week; from being lectured for being ‘clueless’ by their boss to being locked out of State House.<\/p>\n

For some who like making trips out of the country, it was a stern warning to stop \u2018changing clothes\u2019 at the airport due to the numerous trips they make.<\/p>\n

But before then, Health CS decided to take what she termed as “one government approach” and ‘ordered’ the transfer of Matisi OCS in Trans Nzoia county.<\/p>\n

This attracted criticism as she was seen to have overstepped her mandate.<\/p>\n

“In the government we serve, we are doing something called ‘one-government approach’. It does not require the presence of (Interior CS Kithure Kindiki) to transfer the OSC in this area,” Nakhumicha said.<\/p>\n

“So I’m here and I’m giving an order, county commandant if you are here or you can hear me from wherever you are, by tomorrow (Sunday) the Matisi OCS should be gone.”<\/p>\n

However, a senior police officer who spoke to the Star said a transfer is not even mandated to a CS, as Article 245 of the Constitution is very clear.<\/p>\n

Sources said she had been “pardoned by the concerned parties” after she personally reached out to them and apologized.<\/p>\n

The CS is said to have called police bosses, her Interior colleague and the State House to apologise for her public statement last Saturday.<\/p>\n

Just before the fuss could settle down, Interior CS Kithure Kindiki and his Trade and Industry counterpart Moses Kuria were on Tuesday locked out of a State House meeting by the President and failed to sign their performance contracts after they arrived late.<\/p>\n

According to an official programme released by State House Press Secretary Emmanuel Talam, the event was to begin at exactly 8 am.<\/p>\n

However, the President said they should not use traffic as an excuse.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you cannot keep time with your employer, you have basically dismissed yourself. It\u2019s just as simple as that,\u201d Ruto said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor those who came late who are members of the executive, I will be expecting a written explanation and it should not include matters of traffic, on why they do not take this performance contract seriously,” he added.<\/p>\n

Interior ministry\u2019s head of communication Francis Gachuri did not respond to inquiries on Kindiki\u2019s lateness.<\/p>\n

It was the same for CS Kuria\u2019s office too.<\/p>\n

Then came a scramble by Kenyans to get a share of free money from Worldcoin just by having their eyeballs screened.<\/p>\n

This however did not go well with Interior CS who suspended any Worldcoin activities in the country or any other entity that may be similarly engaging Kenyans.<\/p>\n

Kindiki has revealed that relevant security, financial services and protection agencies have commenced inquiries and investigations to establish the authenticity and legality of the aforesaid activities.<\/p>\n

“Also investigations of the safety and protection of the data being harvested, and how the harvesters intend to use the data is being looked at,” he said.<\/p>\n

His Foreign Affairs counterpart Alfred Mutua urged Kenyans to be cautious with their data after several people signed up for World Coin whose agenda is not clear.<\/p>\n

He said Kenyans should not allow themselves to be used as experimental guinea pigs while their individual data is being collected.<\/p>\n

“Let us all support the stoppage of Kenyans being used as Guinea Pigs and their data being harvested,” Mutua said.<\/p>\n

Environment CS Soipan Tuya on the other hand said her ministry is in the process of streamlining the charcoal trade in the country.<\/p>\n

She said this was to ensure that it is conducted lawfully and in an environmentally sustainable manner by putting in place appropriate legal safeguards.<\/p>\n

“We also commit to decriminalize charcoal trade, modernize and commercialize the charcoal value chain, promote youth-owned and operated briquette-making enterprises and support the scaling up of clean cooking,” CS Tuya said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

This comes even as the High Court on Wednesday slammed breaks on the Executive Order that lifted the ban on logging.<\/p>\n

Education CS Ezekiel Machogu accompanied the President during the awarding of a charter to the Open University of Kenya.<\/p>\n

Also present were Mutua, ICT CS Eliud Owalo, Tourism CS Penina Malonza and Lands CS Zachary Njeru.<\/p>\n
