Little-known Cabinet nominees for Treasury, Education and Health

President William Ruto nominated members of his Cabinet and assigned some fairly less known individuals some of the most key dockets.

Treasury CS Nominee Njuguna Ndung'u, Health CS Nominee Susan Wafula and Education CS Nominee Ezekiel Muchogu

President Ruto nominated former Central Bank Governor Njuguna Ndung'u to be in charge of the National Treasury.

Ndung’i is an Associate Professor of economics at the University of Nairobi and served as Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya from March 2007 to March 2015. He became the first CBK governor to complete two 4-year terms.

Before he was appointed CBK Governor, Professor Ndung’u was the Director of Training at the African Economic Research Consortium (AERC).

Ndung'u has had extensive research and teaching work in various fields of economics, including macroeconomics, microeconomics, econometrics, and poverty reduction.

In 2019, he served on the advisory board of the annual Human Development Report of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), co-chaired by Thomas Piketty and Tharman Shanmugaratnam.

President Ruto nominated Susan Nakhumicha Wafula to be in charge of the Ministry of Health.
