Cabinet Nominees Vetting Day Clashes With Mutula Kilonzo’s Funeral

As the committee conducting the vetting process of the 16 cabinet secretary nominees meet today, they have to acknowledge that Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo burial coincides with the starting of the vetting day.

The committee will meet in to start sifting through information from the public on candidates.

Chaired by the speaker of the national assembly, Justin Muturi has chosen Thursday to start public
vetting which will be conducted at the Kenyatta International Conference Center.

 The date of the vetting however collides with the burial of the senior Counsel and three time MP.

A good number of MP’s will be expected to attend which will leave them missing the hearing.

Scheduled to be vetted on Thursday are;
1. Amme Waiguru- Devolution and Planning.
2. Raychelle Omamo- Defence
3. Amina Mohammed-Foreign Affairs
4. Prof Jacob Kaimenyi-Education Science and Technology.
5. Henry Rotich-The National Treasury

“I think the two functions can go on,” said Mr Bundi, “but it’s upon the committee to make a determination. It’s really the business of the committee and they will probably decide on that when they meet.”
