Ruto Fires 4 Govt Employees
On Monday, January 8, President William Ruto annulled the designation of four individuals serving on the Board of Directors of the Kenya Railways Corporation.
This information was conveyed in a specific publication of the Kenya Gazette, Volume CXXVI—Number 3.
Former President Uhuru Kenyatta appointed all four government workers to their roles.
“In exercise of the powers conferred by section 7 (3) of the State Corporations Act, I, William Samoei Ruto, President of the Republic of Kenya and Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Forces, revokes the appointment of— Mohammed Alawi Hussun, Dennis Aroka, Catherine Musakali, Sumaiya Salim Mohamed, as members of the Board of Directors of the Kenya Railways Corporation,” the Gazette notice read in part.

Alawi became an Independent Director on the Board of KRC in 2021 after serving as a commissioner at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
