President Ruto Appoints Mudavadi as Acting Cabinet Secretary Across Ministries After Cabinet Dismissal
President William Ruto has designated Prime Minister Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi to serve as acting Cabinet Secretary across all ministries.
According to a gazette notice issued on July 11, Ruto announced Mudavadi’s appointment to assume the CS role across various ministries.
This decision follows the President’s dismissal of all cabinet secretaries just a week earlier.
“That under Article 152 (5) (a) of the Constitution, Hon. Wycliffe Musalia Mudavadi, E.G.H., is assigned as the Acting Cabinet Secretary in all vacant ministerial portfolios,” the gazette notice read.
To enhance SEO and maintain clarity, here’s a paraphrased version:
Ruto disbanded his entire cabinet, dismissing all Cabinet Secretaries and the Attorney General.
Only Mudavadi, the Prime Cabinet Secretary who also serves as the Foreign and Diaspora Affairs CS, remained after the purge.
The President announced that the new cabinet would be appointed following thorough consultations across all sectors.
He noted that in the absence of Cabinet Secretaries, ministry accounting officers, and other officials will now oversee operations.
