Ruto Appoints Aisha Jumwa As A Senior State Official
She was among the ministers dismissed in July 2024 amid widespread youth-led protests, although President Ruto had promised her a future role in government.

Nairobi – President William Ruto has appointed Aisha Jumwa Katana as the non-executive Chairperson of the Kenya Roads Board, effective immediately according to a gazette notice made public on Friday.
Jumwa, who previously served as the Cabinet Secretary for Public Service and Gender under the Ruto administration, has now been entrusted with a three-year term to lead the Kenya Roads Board. She replaces Ahmed Kolosh Mohamed, whose appointment has been revoked.
The appointment comes at a time when the besieged Ruto’s administration is pushing forward an aggressive agenda for infrastructure development, particularly in road networks, which are vital for economic growth and connectivity across the country and is keen to win the hearts of Kenyans.
Her appointment has attracted mixed reactions from netizens. Some commend President Ruto for recognizing Jumwa’s capabilities and her potential to drive the Kenya Roads Board towards achieving its goals. Conversely, there are concerns regarding past criticisms of her performance in previous roles, with some questioning if this move aligns with the administration’s commitment to effective governance.
Jumwa’s appointment follows her notable political journey, including her stint in the Cabinet after the 2022 elections. However, she was among the ministers dismissed in July 2024 amid widespread youth-led protests, although President Ruto had promised her a future role in government. This promise was fulfilled with her new appointment, indicating the President’s confidence in her leadership abilities despite the controversies.
