Former President Uhuru Kenyatta and Azimio leader Raila Odinga are poised to be the biggest beneficiaries in the looming purge that could see almost half of the principal secretaries sent home.

Signs of the great harvest by Uhuru and Raila are manifested by a shortlist of candidates published by the Public Service Commission(PSC) in which their allies dominated the 101 people cleared for interviews for the position of PS.

The shortlisting follows PSC’s announcement of a vacancy in November 20 last year, where 2,476 candidates applied for the position of Principal Secretary. Out of this, 109 will have a date with the PSC and members of the public have been urged to avail any credible information of interest relating to any of the shortlisted candidates before January 24.
