The appointment was confirmed in a gazette notice, indicating that Kingi will serve as a Member of the Commission for the next six years.
In a statement on Monday, November 17, Kingi expressed his gratitude to God, the president, and parliament for the appointment and expressed his readiness to serve the country.
"Grateful to God for the gift of life, the President for the appointment, and parliament for the approval. Ready to serve my Country in this new capacity," he said.

During the rally, Mudavadi called Ryan to the stage and handed him a phone with an official communication, which Ryan read aloud.
"Pursuant to this communication, the ministry has proposed their appointment of Ryan Injendi Malulu for the position of Trade Attaché at the Kenyan Embassy in Pretoria, South Africa," he read the statement.
