President William Ruto has announced additional nominations to the Cabinet. In his address to the nation on Wednesday, he reinstated several previously dismissed members to new positions within the Cabinet. The new appointments include:

  • Ministry of Youths and Sports: Kipchumba Murkomen
  • Ministry of Tourism: Rebecca Miano
  • Ministry of Public Service: Justin Muturi
  • Ministry of Trade: Salim Mvurya
  • Ministry of Labour: Alfred Mutua


This marks the second list of nominees submitted to Parliament for vetting, following an initial announcement of 11 members on Friday. Among the first group, six former Cabinet Secretaries were retained, including Kithure Kindiki (Interior and National Administration), Aden Duale (Defence), Alice Wahome (Lands, Public Works, Urban Development, and Housing), Soipan Tuya (Environment, Climate Change, and Forestry), and Davis Chirchir, who has been moved from the Energy portfolio to Roads and Transport.

Rebecca Miano, previously serving as the Cabinet Secretary for Investment, Trade, and Industrialisation, was initially nominated for the position of Attorney-General. However, on Monday, Ruto made further changes, assigning Soipan Tuya to the Defence Ministry and moving Aden Duale to the Ministry of Environment.

In the list of nominees submitted to the National Assembly for vetting, Miano's name was absent, raising questions. This was clarified on Wednesday when her name was announced among the new Cabinet Secretaries, with her role shifted from Attorney-General to the Ministry of Tourism.

The President has yet to announce nominees for the positions of Attorney-General and the Ministry of ASAL and Semi-Arid Regions.
