\"\"<\/p>\n

George Wajackoya was allegedly offered a ministerial position in President Ruto’s government. He publicly declined, stating, “I’ve been offered to be a minister. Nilipigiwa simu juzi, nimemwambia pack your position and give it to whoever wants it and go to hell with it. And to those who want to be recycled Gen Zs, anytime you see a ‘recyclee’ just say no.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Justina Wamae was appointed to an 18-member task force chaired by Prof. Khama Rogo with Judith Guserwa as Vice Chairperson. She declined the appointment, citing her maternity leave.<\/p>\n

Faith Odhiambo – Law Society of Kenya President<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Faith Odhiambo and the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) declined President Ruto’s appointment to the Public Debt Taskforce. LSK CEO and Secretary Florence Muturi termed the task force as unconstitutional and stated that its members would not take up any roles in it.<\/p>\n
