The National Assembly has approved President William Ruto's nomination of Pius Ang'asa as a board member of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). This follows a joint vetting process by parliamentary committees and aligns with the CBK's mandate to formulate policy and ensure good governance.

• Ang'asa's appointment comes under Section 11 of the Central Bank of Kenya Act.
• The CBK Board, consisting of 11 members, oversees policy, performance, and key executive appointments.
• This is the second recent high-profile appointment by President Ruto at the CBK, after Gerald Nyaoma Arita's approval as Deputy Governor in November last year.
