[Photo: Nairobi News]Two new ministries are to be created as the Jubilee government seeks to create more room for August 8 election losers, but who are key in Deputy President William Ruto 2022 presidential ambitions.According to The Star, the proposal is to split Sicily Kariuki’s ministry, making Gender and Youth one and Public Service another docket. Water and Irrigation ministry is expected to be split too.This comes as various names continue to surface for possible cabinet appointments with reports out that as many as 7 current cabinet secretaries are facing an imminent sack.However, some of the interesting names that could find their way to the cabinet include Hassan Omar (former Mombasa Senator), Joyce Lay (former Taita Taveta woman representative), Ababu Namwamba (former Budalang’i MP) and Paul Otuoma (former Funyula MP).Others include Rtd Gen Julius Karangi (former Chief of Defence Forces), Peter Muthoka (influential Ukambani businessman) and Peter Munya (former Meru governor), adds the Star.President Uhuru Kenyatta is expected to decide who between Energy PS Joseph Njoroge and KRA director general John Njiraini will take over the Treasury. This is as Interior PS Karanja Kibicho who played a key role in Uhuru’s reelection is being taunted by insiders as the possible replacement of Joseph Kinyua, the Chief of Staff and Head of Public Service. Kinyua is retiring soon.Jubilee secretary general Raphael Tuju, former Gatanga MP David Murathe, former Energy CS Davis Chirchir and Executive director of the NGOs Coordination Board Fazul Mahame are also expected to come on board.August 8 Mombasa gubernatorial loser on Jubilee ticket, Suleiman Shahbal and former Kilifi North Gideon Mung'aro are also poised for plum State appointments.However, this may not necessarily excite the regions they come from, with the argument being they were 'rejected' by electorates during the polls."My advice to the President is that if he wants to form an all-inclusive government, then he should not go for election losers. Actually, he should go for those who were elected because they represent the people of those areas from where they were elected from," Political analyst Prof Edward Kisiang'ani told a local TV station recently.
