President William Ruto has officially submitted the names of 11 Cabinet nominees to the Kenyan Parliament for consideration and approval.
The list was conveyed to the House by Speaker Moses Wetang’ula as Parliament resumed sittings after a month-long break.
“I wish to convey to the House that I have received a message from His Excellency the President, notifying the nomination of various persons for appointment to the Offices of Cabinet Secretaries,” Wetang’ula said.
“In the message, Honourable Members, His Excellency the President conveys that, in exercise of powers conferred on him by Articles 152(2) of the Constitution, as read together with sections 3 and 5 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011, he nominates various persons for appointment to the aforementioned offices.”
President Ruto had previously named half the members of his Cabinet a week after sending home 21 of his previous Cabinet except Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi.
Among the 11 nominees, six are familiar faces who served in the disbanded Cabinet, including Aden Duale, Kithure Kindiki, Davis Chirchir, and Alice Wahome.
The new faces in the Cabinet nominations are Eric Muriithi Muuga, Margaret Nyambura Ndung’u, Debra Mlongo Barasa, Julius Migos Ogamba, and Andrew Mwihia Karanja.
Wetang’ula said he will forward the names of the 10 nominees and their curriculum vitae to the Committee on Appointments of the House for consideration.
The committee is expected to immediately notify the nominees and the general public, commence the necessary approval hearings, and table its report in the House within the stipulated 28-day timeline.
“It is therefore imperative that the Committee on Appointments immediately commences the process of consideration of the nominees,” Wetang’ula concluded.
