President William Ruto and Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi have announced a series of new government appointments through a gazette notice.

Among the appointments was that of Captain Kungu Muigai, a cousin of former President Uhuru Kenyatta, whose membership to the Kenya Cultural Centre Council was quashed by the court less than a month ago.

Mudavadi, who also serves as the Cabinet Secretary for Gender, Culture, the Arts, and Heritage, made key state appointments, including Muigai's, a cousin of former President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Muigai will serve as the Chairperson of the Kenya Cultural Centre Council for a two-year term.
