Baringo Senator Gideon Moi says he will not accept a cabinet position if appointed to any such portfolio by President Kenyatta.
Addressing the press at Parliament buildings after being elected chairman of the senate committee on ICT on Tuesday, Moi also distanced himself against claims that he has a hand in the naming of the Cabinet by the head of state.
“I have not been offered a cabinet position and if offered one I will not take it because I have a mandate to serve the people of Baringo with commitment and dedication for the next five years,” said Moi.
The KANU chairperson added, “I am playing no role [of naming of the cabinet] whatsoever.”
There were speculations that Moi would be appointed to the Cabinet by President Kenyatta in his final term in office, as he looks to leave behind a legacy.
On his new role as ICT Committee head in the Senate, he noted: “First and foremost we want to look at what was there before as we draft the cybercrime bill. We would also like to do an audit of some of the technology that is currently being used."
He said his goal is to ensure that Kenya transforms into an Information Communication and Technology hub in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Is it me or is this headline misleading?
Jamaa is knee deep in all sorts of IT projects. Mara ati cybersleuthing, ICT hub in Baringo...forget that mlolongo kalonzo dream. Hiyo itakuwa vita.
I think he is cornering out his cake so he has a way to siphon funds for the next 10 years. Kenyans be very wary of these crooks and their kids appearing saintly kumbe ma goldenberg na anglo fleecing wazungus are looting the nation dry.
Tired of the Kenya's political dynasty! We are we recycling the same blood lines people!?
