Dorcas Odour has been proposed by President William Ruto to be the Attorney General.
Oduor is the Public Prosecutions Department’s deputy director at the moment.
Shortly after reassigning Rebecca Miano to the ministry of tourism, he made the nomination.
Following Ruto’s dissolution of his Cabinet, Miano was chosen to serve as Attorney General.
She will succeed Justin Muturi, who has been nominated to be the Public Service Cabinet Secretary, if she passes the screening process.
Oduor is an advocate of the High Court of Kenya and holds a Master of Arts in International Conflict Management (UoN), a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) degree (UoN) and a Diploma in Law from Kenya School of Law.
Once confirmed by the National Assembly Committee on Appointments, and appointed by the President, Oduor will become the principal legal adviser to the Government.
She will also represent the national government in court or in any other legal proceedings to which the national government is a party, other than criminal proceedings.
She will perform any other functions conferred on the office by an Act of Parliament or by the President.
She will form part of President Ruto’s newly reconstituted Cabinet which includes at least four members from the Opposition party, ODM.
Oduor will also be a member of the influential National Security Council.
