How Ruto allies managed to get Linturi and Aisha jumwa get approved as cabinet secretaries

 


William Ruto’s cabinet members have assumed their responsibilities fully after being sworn in on Thursday, October 27 at The Statehouse.

The swearing-in came a day after the National Assembly approved all the 24 cabinet nominees even though three of them, Peninah Malonza, Aisha Jumwa and Mithika Linturi seemed to be the unfavorite choices.

Malonza was unanimously rejected by the Appointments  committee while Jumwa and Linturi were rejected by the committee’s Azimio members.

Details have however emerged on the tricks that Kenya Kwanza used to ensure that all the 24 nominees ascend to their specific responsibilities.

According to a local daily, Ruto’s allies used the Malonza issue to draw attention away from Jumwa and Linturi. Azimio, which is the minority, had come up with their own report after vetting, detailing why Jumwa and Linturi should not be approved as CSs.

A further debate on why Malonza, the only and first CS from Kitui South and a woman, was being denied a chance to become a CS further overshadowed the Jumwa and Linturi matter. Malonza’s rejection also angered female lawmakers and MPs from Ukambani who stood with her as one of their own.

Aside from that, sources revealed that Kenya Kwanza sought help from Wiper party, the dominant political party in Ukambani  to rescue Malonza.

Her competitor in the Kitui women Rep race in the last election Irene Kisalu moved a motion to  overturn the unanimous decision of the Appointments Committee that rejected her, suggesting that MPs should vote to approve her to cabinet.

Several Wiper MPs who did not want their identities revealed separately accused two Ukambani leaders (Robert Mbui and Stephen Mule)  who are members of the Appointments committee of advocating for Malonza’s rejection just because she vied on UDA ticket.

As the MPs attended to Malonza’s matter, the minority report on former Malindi MP and former Meru senator was forgotten about and eventually dropped.
