Keriako Tobiko, Eugene Wamalwa, and Joe Mucheru were also present.
Also, other leaders who were present were: Deputy President Gachagua, CSs Najib Balala (Tourism) Raychelle Omamo (Foreign Affairs), Eugene Wamalwa (Defence), Joe Mucheru (ICT) Ambassador Amina Mohamed (Sports), Attorney General Kihara Kariuki and Head of Public Service, Joseph Kinyua were present.

This is after he had stated during the campaign periods that Ruto would be defeated in the August 9 polls.
The two said that Raila Odinga, Ruto's opponent, would win with 60% of the vote. Mucheru asserted that intelligence teams conducting a popularity survey prior to the elections on August 9 were the ones who released the data.
On his end, Munya was one of Ruto's fiercest detractors. The Agriculture CS traveled around the Mt. Kenya region to support Raila. But after taking office, Ruto reaffirmed his commitment to working with all other leaders to boost the economy and bring down living expenses.

However, the first Cabinet meeting takes place as the Head of State is under increasing pressure to select CSs. Before discussing important topics, including the economy, insecurity, and competency-based curriculum, Ruto led the CSs in prayer.
