President William Ruto, on Thursday, April 6, appointed former EAC Cabinet Secretary Adan Mohamed to the Kenya Leather Development Council board.
A Gazette notice indicated that the former Cabinet Secretary in President Uhuru Kenyatta's second term would take over as the board chairperson.
Consequently, the Head of State revoked the appointment of Francis Munywoki - appointed by Uhuru.
Mohamed will serve on the board for three years, with his term taking effect on Wednesday, April 5.
Following his appointment, the ex-CS became the third member of Uhuru's second cabinet to land a government job.
He joins Simon Chelugui, who retained his position as a CS, and former Energy CS Monica Juma, who was appointed the president's national security advisor.
Notably, Mohamed contested in the 2022 General Election for the Mandera Gubernatorial seat.
The long-term ally of Uhuru vied on a Jubilee party ticket and lost to Mohamed Adan Khalif.
On the other hand, Ruto also announced other appointments, including Former Wajir West MP Mohamed Ahmed Kolosh, who was appointed as a member of the Kenya Roads Board.
“In exercise of the powers conferred by section 7 (1) (a) of the Kenya Roads Board Act, as read together with section 51 (1) of the Interpretation and General Provisions Act, I, William Samoei Ruto, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces, appoint Ahmed Kolosh Mohamed to be the Chairperson of the Kenya Roads Board, for a period of three (3) years, with effect from the 5th April 2023,” read the notice in part.
