President William Ruto recently reshuffled the proposed cabinet and changed the positions of Aden Duale and Soipan Tuya. Many young Kenyans have expressed significant trust issues regarding the government's leadership, decisions, spending, and borrowing, among other concerns.

As we search for an amicable way forward, may it be one forged in honesty, accountability, efficacy, and effective systems. #Leadership #Kenya #Accountability #Governance #Trust #Efficacy
