| Parliament approves all nominated CSs |
All the 20 Cabinet secretary nominees have been approved for appointment by the Committee on Appointments. Parliament Committee Approves all 20 Ruto’s Cabinet Secretary Nominees for Appointment What next after the committee approves Cabinet secretary nominees NTV Kenya reported that the committee chaired by National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula had cleared all the 20 CSs nominees.On Wednesday, August 7, the committee will table the report on the floor of the House for debate before final approval for appointment is made. The approval of the nominees comes despite the committee receiving hundreds of memorandums calling for the rejection of some of the nominees. Why the committee rejected memoranda from Kenyans Some Kenyans had wanted all the CSs from the dissolved Cabinet to be rejected by the committee. Wetang’ula stated that they received over 1,300 submissions from Kenyans who raised issues with some of the CS nominees. Kipchumba Murkomen, Hassan Joho, and Aden Duale are among the Cabinet secretary nominees who received the highest memoranda opposed to their candidatures. However, the committee rejected all the memoranda, citing various grounds, including that instigative authorities had already concluded some of the issues raised and that the respective nominees had been cleared.
