27 days after President William Ruto fired all but one Cabinet Secretary, the political landscape has been dramatically reshaped with the National Assembly's approval of 19 out of 20 Cabinet nominees on Wednesday, August 7. With a diverse Cabinet, President Ruto is aiming to foster inclusivity and unity. Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah announced the committee’s decision, endorsing 19 of President Ruto’s 20 nominees. This significant development came as President Ruto pushed through his commitment to form a broad-based government, incorporating five members from Raila Odinga’s Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) to bridge political divides.
