President William Ruto has made new appointments to boards of various state corporations, as he kicked out more appointees of his predecessor Uhuru Kenyatta while rewarding his allies who lost in the August 2022 election.
Former governors Cleophas Lagat and Jack Ranguma, and former Law Society of Kenya President Nelson Havi are some of the notable names in the list.
Lagat and Ranguma were pioneer governors of Nandi and Kisumu counties respectively, and they failed to recapture the seats they lost in 2017. Havi on his part failed to unseat Westlands MP Tim Wanyonyi last year.
