What you need to know:

  • Jumwa is set to assume a major role in the Kenya Kwanza Alliance and in national politics after her appointment as a CS.
  • Others are Senate Speaker Amason Kingi and former Kwale governor Salim Mvurya, who is the Mining Cabinet nominee.
  • Interestingly, Ms Jumwa, Mr Kingi and Mr Mvurya switched their political loyalty from being staunch defenders to the harshest critics of Mr Odinga.

Former Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa is set to assume a major role in the Kenya Kwanza Alliance and in national politics after her appointment as a Cabinet Secretary (CS), positioning herself as one of President William Ruto’s key lieutenants in the Coast region.

Should she be approved by Parliament as the Public Service and Gender CS, Ms Jumwa will join the top ranks of Dr Ruto’s key point persons in Coast, a region considered one of the political bedrocks of Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga.
