The parliamentary committee that vetted President William Ruto's Cabinet nominees received 23 memoranda from the public, the bulk of which opposed the appointment of several nominees.
In affidavits filed before the National Assembly's Committee on Appointments, several Kenyans wanted the nominees, all of whom have been approved by Parliament, rejected, citing integrity issues. The petitions were in addition to adverse reports against some like Agriculture Cabinet Secretary-designate Mithika Linturi and Trade CS-designate Moses Kuria, submitted by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC).
