President William Ruto has nominated Justin Muturi as the CS for Public Service, Performance, and Delivery Management.
Muturi was among those fired and sent home by the President on July 11, 2024.
Muturi served as the attorney general before his dismissal from the government.
The Ministry of Public Service, Performance, and Delivery Management was previously headed by Moses Kuria.
In a statement on Wednesday, Muturi thanked the President for trusting him to serve again in his cabinet.
He said the nomination is a testament that the President is committed to ensuring the nation thrives.
"I am deeply honoured and profoundly grateful to President William Ruto for the trust and confidence you have placed to serve as the Cabinet Secretary for Public Service, Performance, and Delivery Management," he said.
"This nomination is a testament to your unwavering commitment to enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of our public service."
Muturi pledged to work diligently and collaboratively with all stakeholders to ensure public service is responsive, transparent, and accountable.
Last week the President named the first batch of 10 cabinet secretaries leaving a vacancy of 11 others given that Prime CS and CS for Foreign Affairs Musalia Mudavadi had been in office.
The President had previously dissolved his Cabinet saying the affairs of the ministries will be coordinated by Principal Secretaries until a definitive Cabinet is put in place.
The Head of State said the new Cabinet will be named after extensive consultations across all sectors.
During his address to the nation on Wednesday, the President nominated 10 CSs to the second batch of the cabinet nominees.
Ruto has so far nominated 21 individuals to head respective dockets in his government.
The Head of State has, however, not given names nominated to the office of the Attorney General and the Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of East African Community, Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs), and Regional Development.
The President nominated Kipchumba Murkomen for the Ministry of Youths and Sports, Rebecca Miano for the Ministry of Tourism, Justin Muturi for the Ministry of Public Service, Salim Mvurya to head the Ministry of Trade and Alfred Mutua for the Ministry of Labour.
Ruto further nominated members allied with Opposition leader Raila Odinga to the cabinet.
He named Hassan Joho for the Ministry of Mining, Blue Economy, Wycliffe Oparanya for Cooperatives and MSME Development, John Mbadi for the Ministry of National Treasury and Opiyo Wandayi has been nominated to head the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum.
