What you need to know:

  • Azimio MPs say the proposed Cabinet “is essentially a line-up of who is who in the dark world of theft of public resources.”
  • Mr Wandayi promised that the Azimio coalition will be revealing more about the nominees in the coming days “and particularly during the confirmation hearings in the National Assembly”.
  • Mr Wandayi alleged that, if approved in its entirety, it will be the least inspiring Cabinet in Kenya’s history “as it is the least qualified to manage the affairs of the state”.

MPs allied to the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party have warned that it won’t be smooth-sailing for President William Ruto’s Cabinet nominees who have integrity issues.

In a statement released yesterday, and without giving names, Ugunja MP Opiyo Wandayi, who is Azimio’s majority leader designate in the National Assembly, said the proposed Cabinet “is essentially a line-up of who is who in the dark world of theft of public resources.”
