President Uhuru Kenyatta’s is reportedly operating secretively making major government decisions without involving key figures at State House.
One such action was the recent appointments which were made on Friday.
According to sources within State House, there was no prior knowledge of any pending changes in government.
This is the reason why media was called at State House twice; first to announce the changes in the military and later in the afternoon to capture several appointments.
Even as media was at standby at the house on the hill, no one knew what was to be announced.
President Kenyatta then handed handwritten notes to his new communication boss Kanze Dena to read to the media.
This forced Dena’s staff to transcribe what she was reading on live TV in order to be released to newsrooms as press statements.
This saw the team make several mistakes among them missing the names of those appointed.
They even omitted the name of Esther Koimett who had been appointed Transport PS.
“Esther Koimett’s name was accidentally left out. The anomaly has since been rectified,” the acting State House Spokesperson said.
