Ruto has faced a series of nationwide protests over the high cost of living and tax hikes since he took power in August 2022. The foreign ministry was brought under the portfolio of the prime cabinet secretary Musalia Mudavadi. Ruto rose to power on a promise to champion the interests of impoverished “hustlers”, but his critics said tax rises on petrol and housing would hurt Kenyans already struggling to afford basic commodities such as maize flour.
