President William Ruto has appointed Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi to act as CS in all ministries. In a gazette notice dated July 11, Ruto said that Mudavadi will take over the role of CS in all the ministries. This comes a week after the President fired all his cabinet secretaries.

“That pursuant to Article 152 (5) (a) of the Constitution, Hon. Wycliffe Musalia Mudavadi, E.G.H., is assigned as the Acting Cabinet Secretary in all vacant ministerial portfolios,” the gazette notice read.

Ruto dissolved his entire cabinet sending home all CSs and the Attorney General.

Only the Prime Cabinet Secretary Mudavadi, who also holds the Foreign and Diaspora Affairs CS survived the e purge.

The Head of State said the new cabinet will be named after extensive consultations across all sectors.

He added that with the CS out of office, ministry accounting officers among other officials will now take charge of operations.
