Ruto Appoints Parastatal Leaders; Police to Recruit 10,000 Constables - September 2025

President William Ruto announced new appointments to various Kenyan parastatal leadership positions, including a new role for Dr. Samier Muravvej, in a gazette notice on September 5, 2025. Following announcements by President Ruto and Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen, the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) released guidelines for the recruitment of 10,000 constables. The new government appointments have drawn criticism, with Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Faith Odhiambo accused of compromising the society's independence after accepting a position on a panel for protest victim compensation.
