Ex-CS Henry Rotich lands plum job in Ruto’s office

Former Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich has landed a state job following the appointment made by the Public Service Commission.

Rotich has been picked to serve as the Senior Advisor on Fiscal Affairs and Budget Policy in the office of President William Ruto.

His appointment has been confirmed by the sources within the government.

The appointment comes one month after Rotich and 8 others were cleared by the court in the Sh63 billion Arror and Kimwarer graft case.

They were cleared by the Trial Magistrate Eunice Nyutu, saying that there was no enough evidence to warrant them.

Rotich served as the Treasury CS in the two terms of the retired President Uhuru.

He was also among the CSs whom Uhuru retained in his two terms.

When the two dams scandal came up, President Ruto termed the move as a political witch hunt, and that not even a shilling allocated to the project was stolen.

Following the clearance of Rotich, the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC), Transparency International, Katiba Institute and Africa Center for Open Governance (Africog) sued the prosecutors who handled the case.
