As President Uhuru Kenyatta’s terms hurtle to the finish line in the next 32 days, focus turns on 18 men and one woman who will facilitate a smooth handover of power to the next president.

The list, designated by law as “the transition committee” comprises of the who is who in President Kenyatta’s core team.

Led by Head of Civil Service Joseph Kinyua, the team has one woman, Chief Registrar of Judiciary Anne Amadi, thus far. Three members may very likely be women if they are appointed by the President-elect in accordance with the law.
