President William Ruto has made notable changes in a recent amendment to his Cabinet.
Aden Duale has been reassigned from the Defence Ministry to the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, and Forestry. Soipan Tuya, initially nominated for the Environment Ministry, will now lead the Defence Ministry.
Aden Duale expressed his gratitude on X: "I am grateful to President @WilliamsRuto for reassigning me from the Defence Ministry to the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, and Forestry. I look forward to serving in my new portfolio and ensuring focus on sustainable environmental management, combating climate change, and promoting reforestation and conservation efforts."
He also shared a reflective quote from the Quran: "Indeed, 'And it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows, but you do not know.' - Quran 2:216."

All other Cabinet nominations remain as initially announced by President Ruto. Speaker Wetangula confirmed that all nominees, including those reappointed, will undergo the mandatory vetting process. "The record that has arrived in this House is what I have read to you. Nobody will become Minister until and unless the President has written to Parliament, until Parliament has sat in Committee and vetted, and until the Whole House has voted on the report of the vetting Committee," said Wetangula.
