  • Activist Joseph Aura, through lawyer Harrison Kinyanjui, has objected to Mutahi Kagwe's nomination as Agriculture CS, citing mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The article from MSN discusses a Nairobi-based activist, Boniface Mwangi, who has challenged the nomination of Mutahi Kagwe as Cabinet Secretary (CS) due to his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Mwangi criticizes Kagwe for the mismanagement of funds and resources during the health crisis, pointing out issues like the procurement of overpriced ventilators and the lack of transparency in financial dealings. He argues that Kagwe's actions during the crisis were not only inefficient but also potentially corrupt, questioning his suitability for any public office. This challenge comes at a time when Kenya is undergoing a cabinet reshuffle, and Mwangi's petition aims to highlight the need for accountability and integrity in government appointments.
