Suba North Member of Parliament Millie Odhiambo on Friday, April 16, challenged President William Ruto to take the Ministry of Gender and Culture seriously despite Parliament's approval of Hanna Cheptumo as the new Gender Cabinet Secretary.
While speaking in the National Assembly, the lawmaker raised alarm over the eight-month vacuum that has plagued the Gender ministry since the dissolution of the Cabinet in July 2024 in the wake of the June-July Gen Z-led protests.
During that period, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi oversaw operations at the ministry.
This was despite Mudavadi being the Foreign Affairs CS and performing other significant duties within the government.
