The State Department for the Arid and Semi Arid Lands (Asals) Principal Secretary Kello Harsam has been moved to the Petroleum department in a mini-reshuffle by President William Ruto on Thursday.
Mr Harsam takes over the State Department of Petroleum from former PS Mohamed Liban, who tendered his resignation on April 4, alongside other top bosses following a massive shake-up in the energy sector linked to suspected irregularities and fuel importation scandal.
The PS for the East African Community (EAC) Affairs, Dr Caroline Karugu, in addition to her duties, will succeed Mr Harsam in acting capacity, in the recent changes announced by the Chief of Staff and Head of Public Service Felix Koskei.
