Cabinet nominee on the spot for working before vetting

Cabinet secretary nominee in the Public Service and Youth Affairs ministry Sicily Kariuki on Tuesday presided over a function in her proposed docket before being vetted in Parliament.
Ms Kariuki is Principal Secretary Agriculture and on Tuesday released results showing tenders issued to women and the youth under the newly created Public Service and Youth Affairs department.

Lawyer Harrison Kinyanjui termed Ms Kariuki’s move as illegal and a contempt of the Constitution because she doesn’t have the mandate to carry out ministerial duties before taking the oath of office.
