Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja is one step away from forming his Cabinet.
His 10-member cabinet nominees will be appearing before the County assembly for vetting on Tuesday morning.
The nominees will face the county assembly Appointment committee with the first to appear at 8:00 am.
The nominees include Stephen Mwangi (Built Environment and Urban Planning), Michael Gumo (Innovation and Digital Economy), Brian Mulama (Talent, Skills Development and Care), Patrick Mbogo (Mobility and Works) and Charles Kerich (Finance and Economic Affairs).
Others are Ibrahim Auma Nyangoya (Boroughs Administration and Personnel), Rosemary Kariuki (Business and Hustler Opportunities), Maureen Njeri (Green Nairobi – Environment, Water, Food and Agriculture), Anastacia Nyalita (Health, Wellness and Nutrition) and lastly Suzanne Silantoi (Inclusivity, Public Participation and Customer Service).
Majority Leader Peter Imwatok told the Star that the committee will be fair in the vetting process and follow the right procedures.
“As part of the leadership, the pledge that the vetting process will be seamless and will give Nairobi residents a cabinet whose main purpose will to offer services and serve the people,” he said.
The vetting process had been stopped for over a month after the Association of Muslim Lawyers and the Nubian Rights Forum moved to court halting the vetting on grounds that the Governor’s list of CEC nominees was discriminating against them as minorities
However, in her ruling last week, Justice Ann Mwaure dismissed the petition saying it was premature and there was no evidence adduced to show that the various minority said groups had applied for the positions.
She stated that Governor Sakaja followed the due process in his nomination.
