Friday, December 20, 2024 – The surprise meeting between President William Ruto and his predecessor Uhuru Kenyatta has yielded some fruits.
This is after Ruto nominated
Uhuru’s allies Mutahi Kagwe and Lee Kinyanjui to his Cabinet.
Ruto nominated Kagwe for the position of Cabinet Secretary for the Agriculture Ministry and Livestock Development.
Ruto also nominated former
Nakuru Governor Lee Kinyanjui as the Cabinet Secretary for Investment, Trade, and Industry.
Kagwe and Kinyanjui are allies
of Uhuru; sparking speculations of whether the former President had made up
with Ruto after their meeting in Ichaweri.
In an official statement
yesterday, Ruto also appointed former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo to the position
of Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of Information, Communication and the
Digital Economy.
According to the President, the
action to make the changes is aimed at realigning Ministries to optimize
performance and enhance service delivery as set out in the Kenya Kwanza's
Administration's revitalized plan under the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation
Agenda (BETA).
If approved, Mutahi Kagwe will
be taking over from Dr Andrew Karanja who is the current Agriculture
and Livestock Development Cabinet Secretary.
Kabogo will be taking over from
Margaret Nyambura Ndung'u, who is the current Ministry of Information,
Communications, and the Digital Economy.
Lee Kinyanjui is taking over
from Salim Mvurya who the President has reassigned to the Ministry of Youth
Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports.
With the nomination of Lee
Kinyanjui and Mutahi Kagwe, Uhuru's allies into the Kenya Kwanza government,
the president has fueled the allegations of the political alliance between him
and his predecessor.
