The outgoing Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Investment, Trade, and Industry, Salim Mvurya, has officially passed the mantle to his successor, Lee Kinyanjui, marking a pivotal moment of continuity in government as both leaders emphasized the importance of collaboration and a shared vision for national development.
Speaking during the handover, Salim Mvurya, who is the new Cabinet Secretary for Youth Affairs, Creative Economy, and Sports, expressed confidence in Kinyanjui's ability to lead the Ministry to new heights. "Having served as a Governor, Member of Parliament and Assistant Minister, his leadership will undoubtedly drive reforms and strengthen ongoing initiatives in this Ministry," he noted.
Mvurya outlined several critical programmes that Kinyanjui is expected to prioritise, including the rural industrialisation programme, which aims to boost local economies through partnerships with counties.
While the initiative initially targeted 19 counties, he revealed that plans are underway to expand it to all 47, fostering inclusive growth nationwide.
