Former CS Rebecca Miano responds after claims of asking President Ruto to withdraw her nomination for AG post.

This comes after Rebecca Miano’s name was missing from the list of nominees submitted to the National Assembly for vetting.

Miano, previously the Cabinet Secretary for Investments and Trade, had been reassigned to the role of Attorney General in new Cabinet nominations announced by Ruto last week. 

She had accepted the nomination and expressed gratitude for the opportunity on her X account on July 19, 2024.

However, when the list of nominees was presented to the Assembly by Speaker Moses Wetangula on Tuesday, Miano’s name was notably absent, even though the names of the other ten nominees were included.

The reason for this omission remains unclear, as no official communication has been issued regarding whether Miano’s nomination has been dropped or if she might be reassigned.

Some quarters had earlier claimed that Miano requested to step down from the position, asking for “lighter duties” instead.

In a tweet, Miano flagged the reports as rumours; she, however, did not shed more light on the standing of her nomination.

Rabecca Miano posted a message on her X account stating, “When rumour mills are rolling, the well-advised stay still.”

Her statement has been perceived as a cautious approach amidst the circulating speculations about her exclusion from the list.

President Ruto is expected to announce a second batch of nominees in the coming days.
