The National Assembly Committee on Appointments chaired by Speaker Moses Wetang’ula is scheduled to conduct approval hearings for President William Ruto’s two Cabinet Secretary nominees.
The two, Mbeere North MP Geoffrey K. Kiringa Ruku and Hanna Wendot Cheptumo will face the Committee between 2 pm and 6 pm.
The vetting will be held at the Mini Chamber, 1st floor, County Hall, Parliament buildings.
The President nominated Ruku to serve as the new Public Service, Human Capital Development and Special Programmes, a position previously held by Justin Muturi.
Muturi was dismissed after a fallout with Ruto.
Hanna Wendot Cheptumo was also nominated to serve in the Gender, Culture, The Arts and Heritage docket, a ministry that has not had a substantive office holder since Ruto dismissed his entire Cabinet.
She is the widow of former Baringo Senator William Cheptumo who died on February 15, 2025.
