President William Ruto has presided over the swearing-in of 19 Cabinet Secretaries at State House, Nairobi on Thursday.
The ceremony followed approval by the National Assembly and the subsequent gazettement of their appointments on Wednesday.
Interior CS Kithure Kindiki was the first to take the oath of office, followed by Defence CS Soipan Tuya, John Mbadi (National Treasury), Justin Muturi (Public Service), and Aden Duale (Environment, Climate Change, and Forestry).
Others who took the oath of office included Lands CS Alice Wahome, Julius Ogamba (Education), Davis Chirchir (Transport), Rebecca Miano (Tourism and Wildlife), Hassan Joho (Mining), Alfred Mutua (Labour), Eric Muuga (Water), Salim Mvurya (Investment, Trade, and Industry), Debra Barasa (Health), Kipchumba Murkomen (Youth Affairs and Sports), Andrew Karanja (Agriculture), Salim Mvurya (Trade), Julius Ogamba (Education) and Margaret Nyambura (ICT).
President Ruto dismissed his previous cabinet on July 11 to pave the way for a ‘broad-based government.’ The move followed weeks of anti-government protests.
