President William Ruto has changed the award categories for ten Chiefs of the Order of the Burning Spear (C.B.S.) who received their awards on Jamhuri Day.
In a gazette notice published on Friday, December 19, the President transferred the honorees to Moran of the Order of the Burning Spear (M.B.S.), Order of the Grand Warrior (O.G.W.), and Head of State’s Commendation honors (H.S.C.).
Ndung’u Joyce Njeri Njoroge and Kiini Sylvester Ngei were promoted from the C.B.S. award to the Moran of the Order of the Burning Spear.
Owino Harrison Ochieng, Kirui Kipkemoi Arap, Chemweno Peter Kipsang, Mogere Zakayo Izanta, Sitima Allan Mukoto, and Akama Vane Nyaboke have been reassigned to the Order of the Grand Warrior (OGW).
Buchere Philip Brightone, who received a posthumous Chief of the Order of the Burning Spear, has been reallocated to the Order of the Grand Warrior (O.G.W.) award.
Ruto also moved Odera Millicent Anyango from the Chief of the Order of the Burning Spear (C.B.S.) to the Head of State’s Commendation Awards (HSC).
The adjustments come after 881 Kenyans received national honours and distinctions during a ceremony at State House on Jamhuri Day, December 12.
Attorney General Dorcas Oduor, Kristina Pratt Kenyatta (sister of former President Uhuru Kenyatta), and Kajiado Governor Patrick Ole Ntutu were all awarded the Elder of the Order of the Golden Heart (E.G.H.) during the ceremony.
