    "content": "Hon. Members, you will recall that, during the morning sitting of yesterday, Wednesday, 16th April 2025, the House approved the appointment of the Hon. Geoffrey Kariuki Kiringa Ruku, Member of Parliament for Mbeere North Constituency, as the Cabinet Secretary for Public Service, Human Capital Development and Special Programmes. I have since received a letter from the Member, dated 16th April 2025, tendering his resignation as the Member of Parliament for Mbeere North Constituency, effective from 10.00 p.m. on Wednesday, 16th April 2025. This arose out of the gazettement of his appointment as a Cabinet Secretary vide Gazette Notice No.4834 dated 16th April 2025. Indeed, today morning, the Hon. Ruku took Oath of Office as the Cabinet Secretary for Public Service, Human Capital Development and Special Programmes. In this regard, I will now proceed to execute the necessary actions required by law to declare the seat of Member for Parliament for Mbeere North Constituency vacant, so as to unlock the processes of filling the vacancy. On my behalf and that of the House, I wish Hon. Geoffrey Ruku the best in his new assignment in the Executive. The House, and, indeed, the general public, is accordingly informed. Thank you."
