President William Ruto has announced fresh appointments and nominations in the Executive, naming a new Government Spokesperson while forwarding nominees to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA), and other state bodies.
In changes announced on Tuesday, July 21, former police spokesperson Charles Owino Wahong’o was redeployed from the Ministry of ICT and appointed as the new Government Spokesperson.
The appointments also saw former Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Secretary General Wilson Sossion nominated as a member of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) Board.
Antonina Lentoijoni was also nominated to serve as a member of the TSC, with both names forwarded to Parliament for approval in line with the Constitution.

Additionally, the Public Service Commission has approved promotions and redeployments within the senior ranks of the Executive,” Koskei stated in the notice.
