The vetting of President William Ruto's Cabinet Secretaries nominees is set to commence Thursday.

Interior Cabinet Secretary nominee Prof Kithure Kindiki will be the first to appear at 8am before the Vetting Committee chaired by National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula.

Kindiki will be seeking to convince the committee to give him a second chance to serve in the same position which President Ruto had appointed him to serve in September 2022 until the Cabinet was dismissed two weeks ago.

The CS nominee who hails from Tharaka Nithi county is an ally of the President having served in his legal team when he appeared before the International Criminal Court at The Hague facing crimes against humanity charges.
