ODM reaps big as dismissed CSs pull comebacks

Recycled Cabinet Secretaries

At the same time, Ruto has reappointed five of his former cabinet secretaries.

Onesmus Kipchumba Murkomen has pulled a surprise comeback despite being in the eye of the storm following criticism of his unmitigated public display of opulence while serving at the Ministry of transport. Murkomen will replace Ababu Namwamba as the CS for Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports.

Salim Mvurya will move to the Ministry of Investments, Trade and Industry, replacing Rebecca Miano who has secured a nomination to the Tourism Ministry.

Miano had initially been picked to become Kenya's first female attorney general before a last-minute change of heart, which has left the position vacant.

Alfred Mutua will report to the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection if approved, while Justin Muturi streamlines the Public Service and Human Capital Development docket.
