The event started with Ministry of Public Service, Youth and Gender Affairs Cabinet Secretary nominee Margaret Kobia taking the hot seat. Kobia justified the new position of chief administrative secretary (CAS) that was created during the naming of the new cabinet terming the move constitutional. The chief administrative secretaries will be the second-in-command in ministries after the CS, a position that places them above principal secretaries who are the accounting officers. Munyes took pride in explaining the reforms that he brought in Water Ministry and Labour Ministry during his term in the two dockets. Munyes said he will work with the county governments by giving them licenses to ensure Kenya becomes leading in the mining industry.
