President William Ruto picked Moses Kuria as Trade minister on December 19th. Kuria will replace Salim Mvurya, who got a new job as Sports minister.
Ruto also chose William Kabogo as the ICT minister and Mutahi Kagwe as the Agriculture minister. Kabogo and Kagwe thanked Ruto for their selections.
But Kuria didn't say anything at first. People wondered if he had turned down the job, and rumors spread online.
Then Kuria finally spoke up. He said he was grateful Ruto chose him. "I accept the honor to serve as Trade minister," Kuria wrote. "I thank the President for trusting me with this important job."
Kuria promised to work honestly and respect the law. The parliament will interview Kuria and the others on January 14th. Kagwe will go first, then Kabogo, and then Kuria.
Comments about the candidates can be sent in until January 3rd. The parliament wants to know if anyone has concerns about their suitability for the jobs.
