Cabinet Secretaries in Kenya

List of Cabinet Secretaries in Kenya, Ruto’s Newly Appointed Ministers

President William Ruto is nearly done pulling the sleeves in constituting a list of Cabinet Secretaries in Kenya amid heated resistance from enraged Genz protesters. A raft of changes effected by the Head of State in the 2024 government includes reshuffling and facing out of poor performers.

Inside the new Kenya Kwanza government cabinet are youthful faces with a significant number of women on board. The inclusion of fresh candidates in senior positions is particularly notable.

His Excellency President William Samoei Ruto and DP Rigathi Gachagua succeeded President Uhuru Kenyatta upon trashing Hon Raila Odinga in the 2022 August polls.

The much contested electoral results released by the IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati would be upheld by the Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice Martha Koome.

Various ministers appointed in 2022 allegedly failed to deliver even as the government was becoming more insensitive to the impending economic wounds of the nation.

Then followed a series of deadly protests by the leaderless and tribe-less Gen Z movement. The political uprising eventually forced President Ruto to dismiss all his cabinet ministers including the Attorney General.

Here is a complete list of the new appointees.
