With a change of venue, a times comes a change of outfit.

This was the scenario as President William Ruto held his first Cabinet meeting at the State House in Mombasa on Friday.

From 8 am, Cabinet secretaries started arriving with the majority wearing casual clothes, unlike other meetings where they put on official wear.

The rains did not spare them as some CS were seen sharing umbrellas to shield themselves from the light showers.
