Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua has congratulated the newly appointed Attorney General Dorcas Oduor.
On Tuesday, President William Ruto presided over the swearing-in of Oduor at State House, Nairobi.
In a statement on X, Karua exuded confidence in Oduor saying she is equal to the task.

Oduor will be the first woman Attorney General in Kenya taking over from Justin Muturi who was reappointed to the Ministry of Public Service in Ruto's new Cabinet.
Oduor was confirmed last week by the National Assembly after vetting by the Committee on Appointments.
