Peter Tum replaced by Elijah Mwangi as Sports Principal Secretary

President William Ruto has appointed Elijah Mwangi as the new Principal Secretary of the State Department for Sports (Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports) replacing Eng Peter Tum.

The President made the changes on Thursday 20, 2025 when he made the changes of Principal Secretaries through an announcement made by Head of Public Service Felix Koskei where Tum was appointed as Kenya’s ambassador to Kinshasa, DRC with Mwangi replacing him.

Tum was appointed as the Principal Secretary for Sports in 2023, replacing Jonathan Mueke who was moved to the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development in the same capacity.

Tum has so far served under three cabinet secretaries, Ababu Namwamba, Kipchumba Murkomen and the recently appointed Salim Mvuria.
