President William Ruto has announced 11 Cabinet Secretary nominees today, retaining six former cabinet secretaries.
Four of these have retained their previous positions, subject to parliamentary approval.
Former Interior CS Kindiki Kithure and Defence CS Aden Duale are set to continue in their roles.
Alice Wahome will remain the CS for Lands, Public Works, Housing & Urban Development, while Soipan Tura will continue as CS for the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry.
Chirchir Davis has been moved to the Ministry of Roads and Transport, previously held by Kipchumba Murkomen, and Rebecca Miano will assume the role of Attorney General.
The new nominees include Debra Molongo Barasa for the Ministry of Health, Julius Migosi for the Ministry of Education, Andrew Mwihia for the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development, Eric Muuga for the Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation, and Margaret Nyambura Ndungu for the Ministry of Information, Communication, and the Digital Economy.
President Ruto emphasized ongoing consultations for additional appointments. “Further consultations are ongoing, after which I will announce more names in due course,” he stated. He did not specify the total number of CS positions to be filled, though the constitution mandates a minimum of 14 and a maximum of 22 nominees.
