Ruku, Cheptumo among new CSs sworn-in Thursday

The newly appointed Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) and Principal Secretaries (PSs) Thursday morning took the oath of office at State House, Nairobi.

This following a successful vetting process by the appointments committee, chaired by National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula that took place last week.

The new CSs and PSs were appointed following a statement by President William Ruto on 26th March where he made changes to his Cabinet, announcing new appointments and reassignments.

In the announcement, the President, dropped Justin Muturi as the CS for Public Service and Human Capital Development and replaced him with Geoffrey Ruku.

The immediate former Mbeere North Member of Parliament, Geoffrey Ruku, took the oath of office to serve as Cabinet Secretary for Public Service and Human Resource Development while Hanna Wendot Cheptumo was sworn in as Cabinet Secretary for Gender, Culture, The Arts & Heritage.

Cheptumo’s position had been vacant since the name of Stella Soi Langata was rejected by Parliament after vetting.

The Principal Secretaries sworn into office include: Abdisalan Ibrahim (National Government Coordination), Abdulrazak Shaukat (Science, Research and Innovation), Aden Abdi Millah (Shipping and Maritime Affairs), Stephen Isaboke (Broadcasting and Telecommunications), Michael Loikianu Lenasalon (Devolution), Caroline Karugu (East African Community Affairs), Carren Achieng (Children Welfare Services), Fikirini Jacobs (Youth Affairs and Creative Economy), Cyrell Wagunda (Public Investments and Asset Management), Boniface Makokha (Economic Planning).

The changes made by the President last month saw CS Aden Duale reassigned to the Ministry of Health while CS Dr. Deborah Barasa was moved to the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry.
