The president sanctioned a host of key appointments across government agencies. 

President William Ruto has sanctioned a host of appointments in a gazette notice.

He named former Bumula MP named Mwambu Mabonga as the new non-executive chairperson of the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA), as part of a broad reshuffle of state corporation boards.

The notice also confirmed the reappointment of Engineer Gilbert Maluki to continue chairing the National Irrigation Authority Board in a non-executive capacity.

Meanwhile, Thuo Mathenge's appointment as chairperson of the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organisation (KALRO) has been revoked, though the notice did not give further detail on his successor at the helm of the board.

At EPRA, Faith Akiru Kuno has been brought onto the board, taking over from Jennipher Nawoi Long'or.
