President UHURU Reshuffles Existing Ministries And Replaces Anne Waiguru

H.E Uhuru Kenyatta has reviewed existing ministries and reshuffled it by increasing the size of the Cabinet from the current 19 Ministries to 20 Ministries. His new changes have been made after Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru resigned after huge pressure from the opposition in matters corruption.

In a statement the President said :

“I expect that this change will allow Cabinet Secretaries to focus better on their deliverables by eliminating some of the overlap that existed before and also through giving increased focus to important areas that will drive our economic growth. Each Ministry will be headed by a Cabinet Secretary.
I am now requesting the National Assembly to fast track the vetting and approval of those persons who are newly nominated as Cabinet and Principal Secretaries so that my team and I can get down to work as soon as possible.
Fellow Kenyans under the newly re-organised set up of Government, the following are the details of the Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries:-“
