“Congratulations to the newly appointed Chief Administrative Secretaries (CASs) Hon. Samuel Ole Tunai, Hon. Millicent Omanga and Amb. Mohamud Saleh on appointment in the Ministry of Interior & National Administration. Welcome to the Ministry,” the statement read in part.

Kindiki allocated Omanga to take charge of reforms in the Civil Registration Services (CRS), the National Registration Bureau (NRB) and the Department of Refugee Affairs (DRA) under the State Department for Immigration & Citizen Services.
