LIST OF 50 PEOPLE APPOINTED BY PRESIDENT RUTO

Following the completion of the nomination, vetting and appointment of Cabinet Secretaries, President William Ruto’s next task will be to reveal his list of potential Principal Secretaries as he assembles his administration.

To fill the positions of principal secretary, 9,154 people applied. The public service commission narrowed down the pool of applicants and chose a shortlist of 477 individuals, which grew to 585 a day later.

The Public Service Commission five panels of interviewers narrowed the list of applicants to 250 names, which were then forwarded to the president. The President will choose 50 individuals for appointment as Principal Secretaries from this list, pending National Assembly confirmation.

The President issued his first executive order outlining the structure of his administration two weeks prior. It listed 21 ministries, the State Law Office, which is overseen by the Attorney General, and State departments within each ministry.

Depending on the size and role of the dockets, certain ministries have multiple state departments. For instance, the National Treasury and Planning, under the direction of Prof.

Njuguna Ndung’u, has two state departments, whereas the Ministry of Interior and National Administration, under the direction of Prof. Kithure Kindiki, has three state departments.

The nominees will be examined by the appropriate departmental House committees to determine if the President should appoint them. The 13th Parliament has 44 committees, including 24 select committees and 20 departmental committees. Comparing the number of house committees to the 12th parliament, there were 11 more.
