Nominated MP John Mbadi has welcomed his nomination to Cabinet Secretary (CS) Treasury saying it came as a surprise.
In a statement shortly after President William Ruto named him Treasury CS nominee alongside nine others, Mbadi expressed gratitude to the President saying the gesture got him by surprise.
“The nomination has indeed come as a surprise. But above all let me thank the Almighty God for the opportunity granted,” he said.
Mbadi said the lineup is not only a landmark towards national unity but also demonstrates that Ruto’s vision for Kenya transcends political party lines and ethnic interests.
“May I also sincerely thank the former Prime Minister Hon Raila Odinga for his unwavering faith in me over the years and I promise the people of Kenya I’m not going to disappoint in the government’s quest for effective and quality service delivery,” Mbadi said.
The nominated MP said pending his vetting and approval by the National Assembly, he looks forward to fully cooperating with the President and the Cabinet in revitalising the economy.
“Of course, I’m very much aware the task bestowed on me is not a mean assignment, especially during this time the country is experiencing deep economic challenges,” he said.
Mbadi, ODM boss Raila Odinga’s ally, was named in the second batch of nominees alongside other Raila allies.
Opiyo Wandayi was handed the Energy docket, former Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho was named CS nominee for Mining and Wycliffe Oparanya was handed the Cooperatives docket.
