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.
“IN EXERCISE of the powers conferred by section 6 (1) (a) of
