The new appointments follow President Ruto’s Cabinet reshuffle on December 19.
It saw Kipchumba Murkomen moving from Youth Affairs, Creative Economy, and Sports to lead the Interior Ministry, and Mvurya, formerly the CS for Investments, Trade, and Industry, replaced him.
Former Nakuru Governor Lee Kinyanjui was nominated to take over the Trade Ministry, which Mvurya led, while Mutahi Kagwe, a former CS in Uhuru Kenyatta’s government, was proposed for the Agriculture Ministry.
