Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi is among the quarters that have expressed their reservation on President Willian Ruto's new Cabinet nomination.
The president proposed 11 people on Friday, July 19, to be approved by the National Assembly to sit in the Cabinet.
Six of the nominees were picked from the dismissed Cabinet; Kithure Kindiki returned to his Interior docket, Aden Duale back to the Defence Ministry, Alice Wahome to the Lands and Public Works Ministry, Davis Chirchir moved to the Roads and Transport Ministry, and Rebecca Miano the proposed Attorney General.
Reacting to the nomination, Ahmednasir argued that it mirrored his earlier pronouncement that Ruto would unveil himself as the country's main problem should he flunk in the reconstitution of his government.
The lawyer seemed to suggest that the president was in no position to reinstate the people he had fired and even outlined the grounds for their dismissal.

"The appointment of 11 CSs by President William Ruto is quintessential Rutoian," said the lawyer.
Ahmednasir, in previous discussions, said Ruto might have had a transformative agenda for the country, but his only undoing would be his poor choice of Cabinet members.
Five other new faces were brought into the Cabinet.
They are Debra Mlongo (Health), Julius Ogamba (Education), Andrew Karanja (Agriculture and Livestock Development), Eric Muriithi (Water) and Margaret Ndungu (ICT).
Ruto said he would be completing the reconstitution process at the completion of consultations with other political players from across the political divide.
The previous Cabinet was fired on July 11, Ruto citing incompetence and feedback from Kenyans.
