The Cabinet of the Republic of Kenya is made up of the President, Deputy President, Attorney General, and Cabinet Secretaries. The 2010 Constitution of Kenya allows a maximum of 22 ministries under Article 152 and sets the minimum number to 14. A Cabinet Secretary is not a member of the Kenyan Parliament and has to be vetted by a parliamentary committee before their appointment. Cabinet secretaries head and manage their respective ministries per the Constitution of Kenya.
