One year ago, a quartet of ODM leaders, John Mbadi, Opiyo Wandayi, Hassan Joho, and Wycliffe Oparanya, were appointed as Cabinet Secretaries by President William Ruto. Their appointments drew controversy due to accusations that they, and former opposition chief Raila Odinga, capitalized on the Gen Z-led reform protests despite not participating.

• Four Cabinet Secretaries were appointed from the opposition ODM party.
• The appointments sparked protests regarding alleged exploitation of Gen Z reform efforts.
