President William Ruto is chairing the first Cabinet sitting since the formation of a broad-based government.
State House Spokesperson Hussein Mohammed confirmed that the meeting is underway at State House, Nairobi.
Though not the first time the president is meeting the new Cabinet, it is the inaugural sitting expected to take stock, and align what the new Cabinet Secretaries will be tasked with doing.
The Standard has learnt that topping today's agenda is the controversial Finance Act 2023, and how the government plans to fund the different projects.
Last month, Ruto met the new Cabinet for an induction session. The August meeting was also attended by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Principal Secretaries.
