Fred Matiang'i surprised many Kenyans after he changed his twitter handle minutes after he was retained as the Interior CS.
The no-nonsense CS, who was holding the portfolio on an acting capacity, updated his account immediately he was nominated by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
"The Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Interior & Coordination of National Government; and the Acting Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Education, Science & Technology – Kenya," the handle reads.
On Saturday, the CS thanked the president for retaining him in the position saying he is humbled by the move.
"I thank His Excellency for retaining me in his Cabinet and for reassigning my duties. I am humbled by the faith and trust he has bestowed upon me," he said.
Matiangi pledged to do his best by the grace of God to contribute to the delivery of the government agenda's.
