After a lengthy consultation, President William Ruto has nominated 10 new Cabinet secretaries and an Attorney General.

The nomination comes after the head of state fired his entire Cabinet, save for Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, following weeks of youth-led anti-government demonstrations.

In his press briefing at State House Nairobi on Friday, July, 19, Ruto said the 11 were the first batch of Cabinet nominees, with the remaining to be unveiled later after consultations across the political divide.

The new nominees include six members of the initial Cabinet, for instance, Kithure Kindiki, who has been retained as the Interior and National Administration Cabinet secretary.

The nominees include:

Ministry of Interior and National Administration – Kithure Kindiki

Ministry of Health- Deborah Mulongo Baraza

Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development – Alice Wahome

Ministry of Education – Julius Ogamba

Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development – Andrew Muhia Karanja

Ministry of Defence – Aden Duale

Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry- Soipan Tuya

Ministry of Roads and Transport- Davis Chirchir

Ministry of Information, Communication and the Digital Economy- Margaret Nyambura

Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation – Eric Muriithi Muga

Attorney General- Rebecca Miano.

In his address, Ruto said that next week, he will issue a clear roadmap on the assignment that his new Cabinet will have with clear timelines and deliverables.

“Additionally, I will be issuing next week a clear roadmap on the assignment that the new Cabinet is going to have, with clear timelines and deliverables to harness the tremendous potential that exists in our nation and drive our country to greatness,” said Ruto.
