Poll: Kenyans back Kindiki, Duale for cabinet return amid calls for leaner government

Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has emerged as the clear favourite to retain his cabinet position, according to a comprehensive poll by Politrack Africa.

The survey, which gauged public opinion on potential cabinet reappointments following President William Ruto’s recent disbandment of the executive, found that an overwhelming 68.3% of Kenyans support Kindiki’s return to his previous docket.

The extensive poll, conducted from July 12th to 15th, 2024, surveyed 6,064 registered voters across all 47 counties in Kenya using computer-assisted telephonic interviews. It comes at a critical juncture, with 67.3% of the population applauding President Ruto’s bold move to dissolve the cabinet amidst widespread anti-government protests.

Kindiki, who previously served as Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration, garnered widespread praise for his handling of security issues. “Kindiki maintained security measures across the board and conducted in-person visitations to various places with insecurity issues,” the poll noted.

Following closely behind Kindiki in public approval were Aden Duale and Davis Chirchir, with 63.2% and 61.1% of respondents respectively supporting their reappointment. Duale, renowned for his political acumen, was commended for his focus and commitment. “He is an experienced leader with no known scandal since he took office,” read part of the poll’s feedback.

Chirchir, on the other hand, was recognised for his efforts in the energy sector. “He has enhanced power supply to more areas across the board and helped in mitigating power blackout-related issues,” the poll mentioned.

The survey also shed light on cabinet secretaries whom the public believes should be reassigned to different ministries. Moses Kuria led this category with 62.5% support, followed by Rebecca Miano at 59.2% and Soipan Tuya at 57.9%.

Notably, the poll revealed a strong public desire for a leaner cabinet, with 71.3% of Kenyans believing that a smaller executive of at least 15 members could lead to better governance and accountability. This sentiment aligns with growing calls for fiscal responsibility and streamlined government operations, particularly in light of Kenya’s current economic challenges.

The survey wasn’t entirely positive for the current administration, however. While 51.3% of respondents expressed increased confidence in President Ruto following the cabinet disbandment, a significant 32.8% called for more comprehensive reforms.
