No Ruto CS scored above 40% in performance according to Tifa poll

According to a Tifa study, none of the 22 Cabinet Secretaries in President William Ruto's administration had a performance rating above 40%.

Despite the fact that the CSs have been in office for almost ten months now—since they were sworn in on October 20, 2022—this is the case.

Interior CS Kithure Kindiki was rated highest in the surveys issued on Thursday, receiving 34% of the vote.

However, some of the Kenyans Tifa spoke to claimed they had never pinpointed a single CS as being the best.

A further 40% of respondents believed that no senior official met the criteria for being the best-performing officer.

Azimio la Umoja One Kenya has been finding flaws in President Ruto's 22-member Cabinet, stating that many of the members lack integrity and are hence unworthy of holding the aforementioned dockets.

Recalling the Tifa polls, the worst-performing CSs received results of less than 1%; more over half of the Cabinet received these results.

Four CSs—Trade CS Moses Kuria, Aden Duale (Defence), Eliud Owalo (ICT), Njunguna Ndung'u (Treasury), and Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi—were assigned a ranking of 1%.

A collective score of 4% was assigned to the other cabinet members.

They are Salim Mvurya (mining, blue economy, and maritime affairs), Davis Chirchir (energy and petroleum), Alfred Mutua (foreign affairs), Alice Wahome (water, sanitation, and irrigation), and Simon Chelugui (cooperatives and micro, small, and medium enterprises development, MSMEs).

Other members include Peninah Malonza (tourism and wildlife), Zacharia Njeru (land, housing, and urban development), Mithika Linturi (agriculture), Soipan Tuya (environment and forestry), Aisha Jumwa (public service, gender, and affirmative action), Rebecca Miano (East African Community, arid and semi-arid lands, and regional development), and Florence Bore (labour and social protection).

Interviews with 1,530 respondents took place between June 24 and June 30, 2023.

Nine geographical areas made up the sample: Central Rift, Coast, Lower Eastern, Mt. Kenya, Nairobi, Northern, Nyanza, South Rift, and Western.

Telephones were used to conduct the interviews.

The error margin was +/- 2.5%.
