The Kenya Parliament will begin vetting President William Ruto’s Cabinet nominees next week amid allegations of an anti-corruption whitewash in the courts to have them cleared for appointment.
The 22 Cabinet nominees will each appear before a parliamentary select committee chaired by the National Assembly Speaker to prove their suitability for public office, with integrity questions expected to receive the most public attention.
