Roots Presidential candidate George Luchiri Wajackoyah and his running mate Justina Wamae were also proposed to his government.

 

"If Wajackoyah makes his ways, there is something he is trying to tell Kenyans. We can make him be in charge of Cancer Center we want to develop," the Agano party boss remarked.

Accompanied by his running mate Ruth Mucheru, Mwaure added that Reuben Kigame, who was disqualified from the Presidential race, was also proposed to the cabinet.

From the clergy, he listed the Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Nyeri, Anthony Muheria and Bishop Winnie Owiti from Kisumu county.
