Kahiga, a strong supporter of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, cautioned Ruto against neglecting the Mt Kenya region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Kahiga, Ruto will be setting himself up for failure if he does not appoint eight CSs from the region. &#8220;If he is paying attention to me, I want to remind Ruto that those seats were rightfully ours&#8230;and if he values the people of Mt Kenya, he should heed our call. In my view, I would advise him that selecting individuals from other regions will mark the beginning of his downfall,&#8221; he continued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The outspoken governor mentioned that the president should consider distributing the 14 slots among other regions but should refrain from reducing the number of seats previously occupied by leaders from the Mt Kenya voting bloc. &#8220;I understand that we cannot impose decisions on Ruto, however, all eight of our seats should remain unchanged. This is a warning that if Ruto intends to appoint individuals from other regions to his cabinet, he should look at the other 14 available positions but keep the eight reserved for Mt Kenya,&#8221; the governor emphasized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Faith Nyongesa On Tuesday, July 16, Kahiga requested Ruto to allocate eight Cabinet Secretary positions to the Mt<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3696,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.11 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>8 CABINET SECRETARY POSITIONS FOR THE MT KENYA REGION?
