  • Linturi’s life for the past decade has been full of controversies, which will be at the centre of his vetting.
  • The nominee for EAC docket, Ms Miano, is among the few technocrats who will be in President Ruto’s Cabinet if she is approved.
  • If the National Assembly approves the appointment of Namwamba as Sports CS, he will be making a comeback to a docket which he managed a decade ago.
