The three will be joining the Joseph Kinyua-led committee to work towards a smooth transition and hand-over of power from President Uhuru Kenyatta to William Ruto.
Among other roles, the Assumption of Office of President Committee is tasked with facilitating the handing over of power by the outgoing President to the President-elect, organizing of Security for the President-elect, coordinating briefings of the President-elect by relevant public officers and facilitating communication between the outgoing President and the President-elect.

Macharia Kamau, Information PS Esther Koimett, Devolution PS Micah Powon and PS Jospheta Mukhobe of Heritage and Culture.

That his administration will make sure that peace prevails during that period and he hopes that the same will be maintained by the subsequent administration.
