Fact Check: "Ruto's career in government and his future in public service to be determined at a scheduled general meeting, at State House chaired by native Kenyans, enforcing article 1 of the Kenya constitution 2010."
What We Know
The claim suggests that President William Ruto's career and future in public service will be determined at a meeting at State House, led by native Kenyans, in accordance with Article 1 of the Kenyan Constitution. Article 1 of the Constitution states that all power belongs to the people of Kenya, who exercise it directly or through their democratically elected representatives. However, there is no credible evidence supporting the assertion that such a meeting is scheduled or that it will determine Ruto's future in public service.
Recent reports indicate that President Ruto is actively reshaping his government through various executive orders and legislative changes aimed at consolidating power and implementing his Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) (source-1, source-2). These actions include significant appointments and reshuffles within government ministries, which are part of his strategy to enhance service delivery and address economic challenges (source-3).
Analysis
The claim lacks substantiation from credible sources. While it is true that President Ruto is making significant changes within the government, the notion of a meeting at State House to determine his future is unfounded. The executive orders and legislative initiatives he is pursuing are designed to strengthen his administration rather than to hold a meeting that could potentially jeopardize his position (source-1, source-2).
Moreover, the sources discussing Ruto's government changes do not mention any meeting of the sort described in the claim. Instead, they focus on his ongoing efforts to reorganize government functions and enhance the effectiveness of public service, which indicates a consolidation of power rather than a potential exit from public service (source-3, source-4).
The credibility of the sources used to evaluate this claim is high, as they are reputable news outlets reporting on government actions and constitutional matters. However, the claim itself appears to be speculative and not grounded in factual reporting.
Conclusion
The claim that President Ruto's career in government will be determined at a scheduled meeting at State House is False. There is no evidence to support the existence of such a meeting, and the current actions of the President indicate a focus on consolidating power and implementing his agenda rather than contemplating his departure from public service.
