The President further stated that he was working on naming the other nominees 'shortly'.
Last Friday, Ruto named 11 members to his Cabinet.
Five of these were new nominees while six were members of the previous fired Cabinet who were reshuffled in various positions.
They included; Aden Duale (Environment), Kithure Kindiki (Interior), Alice Wahome (Land), Soipan Tuya (Defense), Davis Chirchir (Transport), Dr. Debra Mlongo (Health), Julius Migosi Ogamba (Education), Margaret Nyambura Ndung'u (ICT), Andrew Muhia (Agriculture) and Eric Muriithi Muuga (Water).
The announcement follows weeks of protests in Kenya against Ruto's administration, with young demonstrators demanding changes in government, and an end to government excesses.
