Saturday, July 12, 2025 - President William Ruto has re-appointed Charles Nyachae as the Chairperson of the Kenya School of Government (KSG) Council for a fresh three-year term.
The announcement was made through a gazette notice issued on
Friday, confirming that the appointment takes effect immediately.
“In exercise of the powers conferred by section 6(1)(a) of
the Kenya School of Government Act, I, William Samoei Ruto, President of the
Republic of Kenya, re-appoint Charles Nyachae to be the Non-Executive
Chairperson of the Kenya School of Government Council, for three (3) years,”
the notice read.
Nyachae, who recently vied for the position of Chairperson
of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), was among four
shortlisted candidates, including Anne Amadi, Abdulqadir H. Ramadhan Lorot, and
Erastus Ethekon, who was eventually appointed.
His IEBC bid was marred by a legal petition challenging his
eligibility, citing his position as KSG Council Chair as a conflict of interest
and violation of governance principles.
However, the petition did not stop the interview process.
In other appointments, Ruto named former Lafey MP Abdi Mude
Ibrahim as Chair of the Kenya Veterinary Vaccines Production Institute, and
former Principal Secretary Ali Noor Ismail as Chair of the Pest Control
Products Board - both for three-year terms.
Nyachae’s previous KSG term, which began in January 2024,
had just concluded, paving the way for his re-appointment.
