President Ruto nominated the first batch of 11 Cabinet Secretaries last week.
The nominations have been forwarded to the Committee on Appointments, which is tasked with vetting the nominees and presenting a report within 28 days.
While welcoming the reassignment, Duale said he looks forward to serving in the new role.
“I look forward to serving in my new portfolio and ensuring that the focus is on sustainable environmental management, combating climate change, and promoting reforestation and conservation efforts.”
