President William Ruto has assigned three Cabinet Secretaries to serve in acting capacities across vacant three ministries.
Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi will now serve as the acting CS for Information, Communication, and the Digital Economy.
His Environment counterpart Aden Duale has been assigned to the Agriculture and Livestock Development docket, in an acting capacity, while Salim Mvurya, who was recently appointed Sports CS, will act as the Cabinet Secretary for Investment, Trade, and Industry.
Head of Public Service Felix Koskei confirmed the appointments in a statement, citing Article 153(5)(a) of the Constitution.
“The Head of State has assigned the vacant ministerial portfolios to Mudavadi, Duale, and Mvurya,” Koskei said.
The three will serve the vacant ministries, pending parliamentary vetting and approval of President Ruto’s nominees earlier this month.
Ruto nominated Mutahi Kagwe for the Agriculture and Livestock Development Ministry, Lee Kinyanjui for Investment, Trade, and Industry, and William Kabogo for Information, Communication, and the Digital Economy.
