The Government has issued a statement a day after President Uhuru Kenyatta retained six Cabinet Secretaries in his second and last term.
State House Spokesperson Manoah Esipisu on Saturday clarified that all CSs currently in office will remain on duty until President Uhuru completes the task of assembling the team.
“This is to clarify that the Cabinet Secretaries currently in office remain so, as instructed in a memorandum from the Head of Public Service in December 2017, until otherwise advised.
“In the coming days, His Excellency the President will complete the task of assembling the team to serve in his second term of office, guided by merit, integrity, commitment to service, and in terms of the Constitution,” Mr Esipisu said in a statement.
President Uhuru on Friday released names CSs that will help his regime achieve the Big Four Vision.
Henry Rotich was re-appointed CS Treasury, Charles Keter (Energy), Joe Mucheru (ICT), James Macharia (Transport) and Fred Matiang'i (Interior and Coordination and Acting Education CS).
