In the wake of President William Ruto's latest reshuffle, which saw ODM leader Raila Odinga's political allies gain more positions in his government, it is becoming increasingly clear how Ruto has been changing his colours to suit the moment.
Like a chameleon, it is not just him changing his colour but making those who work with or under him perceive things his way.
However, Ruto's reshuffles have been interpreted as mind games, as he fires officials to quell public outrage only to reassign them to the Council of Economic Advisors (CEA), chaired by Dr David Ndii.
Some government officials who have been dismissed only to end up in the economic advisory team include Moses Kuria and former Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich, who now serves as senior advisor on fiscal affairs and budget policy in the Office of the President.
