Ruto Gazettes Issack Hassan, 12 Others For Gov’t Jobs Appointed In November
President William Ruto has gazetted the appointment of 13 state officers whom he nominated for government positions last month.
The Head of State, via a Special Gazette Notice, directed that the appointments take up their positions immediately upon Parliamentary ratification.
The 13 officers gazetted include the chairperson and board members of the Independent Police Oversight Authority (IPOA), of which former Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) head Issack Hassan has been named chairwoman.
Annette Mudola Mbogoh, Kenwilliams Nyakomitah, Ann Wanjiku Mwangi, Boniface Kipkemoi Samati, Jackline Lukalo Mwenesi, John Muchiri Nyaga, and Micah Onyiego Nyakego have all been recognized as IPOA members.
“In exercise of the powers conferred by section 11 (8) of the Independent Policing Oversight Authority Act, I. William Samoei Ruto, President of the Republic of Kenya and Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Forces, appoint Ahmed Issack Hassan to be the chairperson of the Independent Policing Oversight Authority,” the gazette notice by Ruto read.

The President also gazetted the appointment of the Chairperson and members of the Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ), where Charles Orinda Dulo is set to take over the reins.
Former Starehe MP and musician Charles Njagua Kanyi and Dorothy Jemator Kimengech have been appointed to the CAJ as members.
As a result, the President has gazetted Rehema Dida Jaldesa’s nomination as head of the National Gender and Equality Commission (NGEC).
Michael Mbithuka Nzomo has also been gazetted as an NGEC member.
“In exercise of the powers conferred by Article 250 (2) of the Constitution and in accordance with the procedure set out in section 11 (9) of the National Gender and Equality Commission Act, 1, William Samoei Ruto, President of the Republic of Kenya and Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Forces, appoint Rehema Dida Jaldesa to be the chairperson of the National Gender and Equality,” the notice read in part.

The 13 were vetted and confirmed by Parliament after Ruto nominated them on November 12 of this year.
The IPOA, CAJ, and NGEC are independent constitutional bodies established under Kenya’s Constitution.
Each has a specific mandate: IPOA regulates police activities to guarantee accountability and human rights compliance.
CAJ, on the other hand, handles administrative unfairness complaints and promotes good governance, whilst NGEC promotes gender equality and protects the rights of disadvantaged groups.
