NAIROBI, KENYA: Seven cabinet secretaries have failed to make it to President Uhuru Kenyatta’s second term list but have landed jobs elsewhere.

When unveiling his promised second list, the president knocked out Judy Wakhungu (Environment), Cleopa Mailu (Health), Dan Kazungu (Mining), Phylis Kandie (Labour), Willy Bett (Agriculture), Jacob Kaimenyi (Lands) and Hassan Wario (Sports) from the cabinet list but reassigned them duties in foreign missions.
