The targeted ministers include Mr Simon Chelugui (Labour and Social Protection) and Mr Charles Keter (Energy), with the fate of their East African Community and Regional Development counterpart, Mr Adan Mohammed, unclear.
A host of Tangatanga-allied senators and MPs were also kicked out of House committees.
The changes will also involve portfolio reorganisation, with loyalists getting plum jobs.
A complete realignment of the government — from the initial days of the Jubilee administration, when it was dominated by individuals from only two communities — to one akin to the Government of National Unity under former President Mwai Kibaki, is under way, the Nation can reveal.
This could be the last straw for Deputy President William Ruto, with indications that Cabinet Secretaries in his Tangatanga camp will be replaced in the changes, whose timing remains unknown.
