The Committee on Appointment has released its report on the vetting of the 20 Cabinet Secretary (CS) nominees. Out of the 20 nominees, the committee approved 19, but rejected Stella Soi Langat for the position of Cabinet Secretary for Gender, Culture, Arts, and Heritage.
National Assembly Majority Leader, Kimani Ichung'wah, presented the report to Parliament, which now has to decide whether to accept the committee's recommendation or approve Soi's appointment.
The rejection of Stella Soi Langat has sparked mixed reactions among Kenyans. Some feel the decision is unjust, while others believe it was the right call based on her vetting performance.
Public Reactions:
Robert Nge: Criticized the committee for not rejecting other nominees with ongoing cases.
Afraha Icon: Suggested that Soi was a "sacrificial lamb" to distract the public.
Gov Drill: Expressed frustration, stating that the committee rejected the only nominee they supported.
Stephen Mutoro: Highlighted issues with Soi's communication skills during the vetting process.
John Mbati: Pointed out Soi's lack of knowledge on key issues like Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and Basic Gender Violence (BGV).
COMRADE: Speculated that the rejection was influenced by regional politics.
The decision now lies with Parliament to either endorse the committee's recommendation or approve Soi's appointment despite the committee's rejection
