State House Swears In CAS Nominees
On Thursday, President William Ruto administered the oath of office to 50 nominees for the position of Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS). The ceremony was held at State House, a day after the official announcement of the nominees on Wednesday.
Although the 50 CAS nominees were expected to undergo vetting, the Speaker of the National Assembly referred the matter back to the President, stating that the August House lacks constitutional authority to vet the CAS nominees.
The President had nominated the Chief Administrative Secretaries from a shortlist provided by the Public Service Commission (PSC). Millicent Omanga, Isaac Mwaura, Dennis Itumbi, and others were among those who took the oath of office.
The CAS positions are relatively new in the Kenyan government structure, having been created after the 2017 elections.
The roles were established to assist Cabinet Secretaries in the performance of their duties.
The CAS is responsible for supervising specific departments and carrying out specific tasks within their respective ministries.
The swearing-in of the 50 CAS nominees is a significant step towards the realization of the government’s agenda.
