FOOTBALL Ministry of Sports gets new PS in government reshuffle

Festus Chuma 19:54 - 16.05.2023

Mueke severed as the first Permanent Secretary in charge of Sports in the new administration.

Sports Principal Secretary (PS) Jonathan Mueke has been moved to the Ministry of Livestock and Agriculture in a reshuffle communicated by the Head of Public Service Felix Koskei on Tuesday.

Engineer Peter Kiplagat Tum is the new PS for Sports, moving from the Health Ministry, where he held a similar position.

Tum will be expected to work with Sports Cabinet Secretary (CS) Ababu Namwamba in delivering the government promises.

The new Principal Secretary is entirely unfamiliar with the labyrinth of his new task, having previously served the Ministry of Labour during former President Uhuru Kenyatta's administration.

He holds a Master’s Degree in Energy Management from the University of Nairobi, a Bachelor of Industrial Technology from Egerton University, and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Medical Electronics from the University of London.

Tum comes with a wealth of experience, having previously served as the Chief Executive Officer of Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC).
