“On behalf of the CBK Board, Management, and Staff, I take this opportunity to congratulate Dr Koech on her appointment and warmly welcome her to the Bank,” Njoroge said.
Koech was successfully vetted by the National Assembly Finance and Planning Committee after Ruto nominated her to the role in February.
Ruto communicated her appointment in a gazette notice dated March 10, 2023, after the vetting.
“I, William Samoei Ruto, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces, appoint Dr Susan Jemtai Koech to be the deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya for a term of four years,” Ruto said.
Before joining CBK, Koech served in senior roles in the banking sector and in the government.
Most recently, she served as principal secretary in the state departments of East African Community, Regional Development, and Wildlife.
