Parliament has approved 19 Cabinet Secretary nominees for appointment by President Ruto.
The MPs however, rejected one of the nominees Stella Lang’at who had been named to the Gender docket.
The amendment to save Lang’at’s nomination, proposed by Vihiga Woman Representative Beatrice Adagala, was withdrawn at the last minute.
The House approved the Committee on Appointments’ report, which recommended the appointment of the 19 other nominees.
While tabling the report on Cabinet vetting on Wednesday, National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wa said Soi failed to demonstrate to the Committee her knowledge of the docket she was nominated.
“…Stella Soi Langat is a career civil servant who has extensive experience in public service but did not demonstrate an adequate understanding of the Gender docket to which she has been nominated and the committee saw her unsuitable for appointment to that docket,” said Ichung’wa.
