Moreover, Osiany will be replaced by two other nominees including Mwanamaka Maruki and Rael Lelei in the Ministry of EAC, ASALs and Regional Development where he has been serving in an acting capacity.

7. CAS Rael Chebichii Lelei – Ministry of EAC, ASALs & Regional Dev’t.

Hence the #SuperCAS joke by friends. Not for the wide mandate, but for the excellent execution & passion for the nation. 4/5 pic.twitter.com/Mh4OnipOnb

Nevertheless, David Osiany was appointed by retired President Uhuru Kenyatta to serve as CAS for the Ministry of Industrialization, Trade and Enterprise development.

He landed his role as CAS for East African Commission and Regional Development in acting capacity when Ken Obura resigned to vie for the Kisumu Gubernatorial seat.

In addition, the Ministry of Corporatives & MSMEs and that of Industrialization, Trade and Enterprise Development were under Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation during Uhuru Kenyatta’s error.

When President Ruto took over the leadership of the country, he split the entities and made the Ministry of Corporative and MSMEs in which he appointed Simon Chelugui to head.

Nonetheless, the nominees for CAS roles are set to be vetted by the parliament before being appointed by the President.
