Ruto Appoints ex-IEBC Chair, Jaguar In New State Positions
On Tuesday, November 12, President William Ruto nominated Ahmed Issack Hassan as chairperson of the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA), one of several new crucial state appointments to government organizations.
In the statement, the Head of State stated that Hassan was suitable for the job due to his extensive legal knowledge and previous chairmanship of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission.
“The nominee is an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya with 30 years’ experience as a legal practitioner and consultant in various countries including Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Namibia, and Afghanistan,” he stated.
“Mr. Hassan holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Law (LL.B) from the University of Nairobi, a Postgraduate Diploma in Law from the Kenya School of Law, and a Diploma in Contemporary Public Administration Management from Galilee International Management Institute, Israel.”
Ruto also nominated seven other members to the IPOA, including Ann Wanjiku Mwangi, Micah Onyiego Nyakego, Boniface Kipkemoi Samati, Annette Mbogoh, John Muchiri Nyaga, Ken Williams Nyakomitah, and Jackline Lukalo Mwenesi, who will be vetted alongside Hassan to take over the authority.
Ruto also nominated Charles Orinda Dulo, who, after vetting, will become the country’s next Ombudsman and chairperson of the Commission of Administrative Justice (CAJ).
