Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery, in a gazette notice on Tuesday, named Enoch Sasia as head of the nine-member secretariat.
The team is tasked with certifying applicants' suitability to have guns and periodically assessing their proficiency.
It can issue, cancel, terminate or vary any licence or permit issued under the Firearms Act.
Members include
Lilian Kiamba, Stanley Omucheyi, Barnice Gachegu and Anthony Wahome. Others are William Sing’oei, George Waiguru, James Ngului and Samuel Kimaru.
Nkaissery stated in the notice that the members' terms, which began on Wednesday, will end after three years.

Odunga suspended Nkaissery's order pending the determination of Joho's application.
Cord leaders Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka had threatened to Joho would have been taken to had he been arrested.
