Vetting of the 51 Principal Secretaries nominated by President William Ruto begins today despite two petitions filed in court challenging the process.
Questions have been raised about the eligibility of some PS nominees, while the president has been accused of failing to observe gender balance and leaving out people living with disability in the final list.
The nominees, who include technocrats, election losers and PSs who served in former President Uhuru Kenyatta's government, will appear for vetting before respective National Assembly Departmental Committees in a week-long exercise.
