President William Ruto Thursday unveiled the list of new Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) nominees as he continues to restructure his administration.
The list of the 50 nominees who are set to take up positions in various ministries majorly comprises political losers who lost in the last General Election and close allies of the ruling administration.
The names of the nominees have since been submitted to Parliament for approval.
Some of the notable names on the list include former Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero, Blogger Dennis Itumbi, Millicent Omanga, Bishop Margaret Wanjiru, Charles Kanyi Njagua, Catherine Waruguru, Wilson Sossion, Isaac Mwaura, Benjamin Washiali, Nicholas Gumbo among others.
Some of the ministries will have up to three CAS’ which will automatically increase the wage bill.
The nominees will get a government car and bodyguard among other benefits.
