National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula has announced that parliament will conduct fresh vetting of six out of the 11 Cabinet Secretaries who were renamed into the new cabinet by President William Ruto.
This comes after the president returned Kindiki Kithure of Interior, Aden Duale of Defence, Alice Wahome of Lands, Soipan Tuya of Environment, Davis Chirchir of Transport, and Rebecca Miano who now takes up the Attorney General’s office, who were nominated back to Cabinet as President Ruto reconstitutes his government.
Wetangula said as per the law, the appointments should be viewed as fresh, while those tho remained in their dockets should begin where they swere before resuming office.
Wetangula had indicated that by Monday, the memorandum on the appointment of the 11 Cabinet Secretaries had not been forwarded to the House.
While commenting on the reinstatement of the 6 cabinet secretaries, CITAM Presiding Bishop Calisto Odede e noted that President Ruto’s move might be a political strategy that seeks to secure his re-election in 2027.
