President William Ruto has unveiled his final list of Cabinet nominees, marking a significant reshuffle in his administration.
The announcement on Wednesday follows weeks of speculation and comes after the President made the bold move of sacking his entire Cabinet, with the exception of Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi.
The newly nominated Cabinet members are:
- National Treasury – John Mbadi
- Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports – Kipchumba Murkomen
- Cooperatives and MSME Development – Wycliffe Oparanya
- Gender, Culture, Arts and Heritage – Stella Soi Langa’t
- Tourism and Wildlife – Rebecca Miano
- Energy and Petroleum – Opiyo Wandayi
- Public Service – Justin Muturi
- Investments, Trade and Industry – Salim Mvurya
- Labour and Social Protection – Alfred Mutua
- Mining and Blue Economy – Hassan Joho
- Ministry of the Interior and National Administration – Kithure Kindiki
- Ministry of Health – Debra Mulongo Barasa
- Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry – Aden Duale
- Ministry of Roads and Transport – Davis Chirchir
- Ministry of Defence – Soipan Tuya
- Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation – Eric Muga
- Ministry of Education – Julius Migosi
- Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development – Alice Wahome
- Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development – Dr. Andrew Karanja
- Ministry of Information, Communication and the Digital Economy – Dr. Margaret Ndungu
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Prime Cabinet Secretary – Musalia Mudavadi
Notably, the President has yet to name nominees for the positions of Attorney General and the East African Community and ASAL.
The announcement comes after President Ruto dissolved his Cabinet on July 11, sending home all Cabinet Secretaries and the Attorney General.
This sweeping change is seen as an effort to reinvigorate his administration and ensure that his government is better aligned with his strategic priorities.
