President William Ruto yesterday suffered a double blow after a parliamentary select committee cast aspersions on three of his Cabinet nominees, including rejection of Peninah Malonza for the position of Wildlife, Tourism and Heritage.

The Kenya Kwanza administration was dealt a blow after the opposition side tabled a dissenting report in which they expressed their reservations on the nomination of Agriculture and Livestock nominee Mithika Linturi and that of Aisha Jumwa to the Public Service, Gender and Affirmative action docket.
