Former President Uhuru Kenyatta's cousin, Kungu Muigai, was appointed chairperson of the Kenya Cultural Center Council.
In a Gazatte Notice shared by State House Spokesperson Hussein Mohamed on Saturday, January 21, Muigai was appointed to the board by Sports Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba.
The retired army captain will serve in the position for a period of two years.
"In exercise of the powers conferred by section 3 (1) of the Kenya Cultural Centre Act, the Cabinet Secretary for Sports, Culture and the Arts appoints Kungu Muigai to be a member and Chairperson of the Board of the Kenya Cultural Centre Council.
"This will be for a period of two (2) years, with effect from January 20, 2023,' read the statement in part.
Muigai was an ardent critic of his cousin during his second term.
Notably, he was vocal about his support for the Kenya Kwanza administration and, in particular, President William Ruto in the run for the 2022 General Election.
In other appointments gazetted, Ruto appointed Hannah Muriithi as the chairperson of the Kenya Deposit Insurance Corporation while Patrick Gichuru was appointed as the chairperson of the Tana and Athi Rivers Development Authority.
