RUTO cracks the whip as he revokes the appointment of two state officials.



Saturday, February 1, 2025 - President William Ruto has sent shockwaves through Government circles after revoking the appointments of two state officials.

In a Gazette Notice dated January 31, 2025, the president pulled the plug on Joe Owaka Ager, who had been serving as the Chairperson of the Pyrethrum Processing Company of Kenya Board.
