Itumbi, Kidero, Jaguar, Bishop Margaret Wanjiru Among Candidates Shortlisted for CAS Positions
The Public Service Commission (PSC) has shortlisted 224 candidates to fill the position of Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) from a list of 5,183 applicants.
President Ruto’s digital strategist Dennis Itumbi, former Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala, and former nominated senator Millicent Omanga are among those shortlisted for the coveted post.
Former Laikipia Woman Representative Cate Waruguru, former Starehe MP Charles Jaguar, journalist Mwanaisha Chidzuga, MacDonald Mariga, Wilson Sossion, Caleb Kositany and Bishop Margaret Wanjiru are also on the list released on Monday.
Others include former MPs John Muchiri and Isaac Mwaura and former governors; Evans Kidero (Nairobi), Patrick Khaemba (Trans Nzoia), James Ongwae (Kisii) and John Mruttu (Taita Taveta).
Former Kirinyaga Woman Representative Purity Wangui Ngirici also made the list.
The shortlist comes barely a week after the court dismissed a case filed by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) challenging the legality of the position.
The Employment and Labor Relations Court noted that PSC followed the correct procedure in setting up the office.
Justice Monica Mburu said PSC had the mandate to establish CAS positions as part of public service reforms.
The shortlisted candidates will be interviewed at the PSC office in Nairobi starting on March 1st.

Kweli Kenya ina wenyewe.
Kenyans own Kenya. They have been hoodwinked by Ruto. They should all take to the streets and relentlessly revolt. Peaceful demonstrations will not do it. These crooks need more than demos to listen to the people.
Why is Kidero's name being mentioned in the same breath as with bona fide candidates? That thief should be busy praying the he does not go to jail for corruption,and embezzlement.How dare he puts his name in the hat!
Is vetting candidates athing of the past in Kenya,or is it only applied selectively?
What is the meaning of this?
William Ruto must go.
We have lots of money to dish out. We have no money for the hungry. Good job KK.
...and we have no money to hire 4000 doctors who have been unemployed for over 5 years,and yet we badly need their services?
The money stolen by DP Gachagua (shs 200 mullion) could have been used to pay salaries for the unemployed doctors. But since Kenya is a company for the few, all important priorities are being misplaced. The hustlers were conned by Ruto and now they do not even have doctors to treat them.
If it does not exist create it yet another avenue to reward another thug by this bunch of thugs who not only stole the election but are hell bent to steal until there is no more to steal all in the name of bottoms up
The bottom up was a huge gimmick and a curse to the poor. Ruto knew he was lying to those poor masses. But they all said hawabagwigwi. They voted for a conman and now they all hungry and crying foul six months later. I dont feel sorry for the hustlers who believed in hot air. The got exactly what they wanted from the greatest conman of all cons WSR
Thieves crawling back in. You were warned.
Thieves are back on n full force. They must all be ejected out of our offices. This is unacceptable.
Kidero, really. All billionaire thieves crawling back to finish us up. Jehovah!! Let it not happen please.
How do all these illiterate cons end up getting jobs while the educated Kenyans are still tarmacking looking for jobs?
Eti Kidero? Kuna mtu atakula kofi kama Shebesh sasa akileta ujinga.
