President William Ruto stated that the panels were appointed based on nominations from professional bodies. [PCS] President William Ruto has established selection panels to recruit new chairpersons and members for four independent commissions. They include the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA), the Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ) and Office of the Ombudsman, and the National Gender and Equity Commission (NGEC). The tenures of the current members are coming to an end. In a circular dated Thursday, Ruto noted that the terms of the chairpersons and members of said commissions are set to expire after serving a non-renewable term of six years. "To ensure a smooth transition within these bodies, I have constituted the necessary selection panels to recruit nominees for the positions of chairpersons and members of these commissions." The President added that the panels were appointed based on nominations from professional bodies, organisations, institutions, and state offices that make up the statutory membership of selection panels. The selection panel for the recruitment of the SRC chairperson includes Joshua Wambua from the Association of Professional Societies in East Africa (APSEA), Patrick Mtange from the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK), Monica Sifuna from the Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (KIPPRA), Quresha Abdullahi from the Institute of Human Resource Management, Amos Gathecha, the Principal Secretary of the State Department for Public Service, Mary Kimonye from the Office of the President, Lawrence Kibet from the Treasury, and Samuel Kaumba from the Attorney-General's office. The team that will recruit the new ombudsman (CAJ) consists of Edwin Makoru from APSEA, Zena Jalenga from the National Council for Persons with Disabilities, Jasper Mbiuki from the Office of the President, Susan Chelgat from the Attorney General's office, and Ambassador Patrick Wamoto from the Public Service Commission (PSC). For the NGEC, the panel includes Florance Nyole, Timothy Odongo, Lerina Kariringah, Linda Musumba, Janet Kung'u, Maimuna Mwidau, Mary Mwiandi, and Reuben Chirchir. A new IPOA team will be recruited by Arthur Osiya, (Rtd) Justice Msagha Mbogholi, Joyce Nyabuti, Monica Wanjiru Muiru, Raymond Nyeris, and Caroline Naikena Lentupuru. "I encourage all qualified Kenyans to apply for these positions to serve the nation," added Ruto. His announcement comes as the SRC commissioners prepare to exit office on September 11.
