President William Ruto shook up Kenya's government agencies with fresh leadership picks across the country. The commander-in-chief named John Munyu to run the Pharmacy and Poisons Board for three years starting July 4th. Munyu used to head KEMSA and knows how to handle medical supplies for public hospitals. Charles Githinji lost his previous job but landed the top spot at Kenya Biovax Institute Limited instead. Ruto wants these vaccine experts to help Kenya make its medicines locally.
The president also switched around other key positions at important government offices. Hussein Dado will lead the Public Service Superannuation Fund Board for the next three years. Henry Anyona joined the Jomo Kenyatta Foundation board after Consolata Rop left that role. Treasury boss John Mbadi kicked Susan Mambo off the Public Procurement Administrative Review Board. Trade Minister Lee Kinyanjui gave Consolata Rop a new job running the National Standards Council.
Government officials created a massive new committee to handle trade barriers with other countries. More than 50 different groups will work together under this Technical Barriers to Trade Committee. The trade ministry wants Kenya to follow World Trade Organization rules better. Universities and government departments will help make sure products meet international standards. These changes aim to boost Kenya's ability to compete with foreign companies around the world.
