Nairobi, Kenya – In a surprising turn of events, President William Ruto has appointed Mary Wanyonyi as the new Chairperson of the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA), replacing the outgoing chair. The announcement was made in a press release posted on Twitter by State House Spokesperson Hussein Mohammed earlier today. Mary Wanyonyi, the wife of President Ruto, will now be responsible for overseeing the crucial task of revenue allocation in Kenya.
Wanyonyi’s appointment comes at a time when the nation is witnessing a significant transition, particularly in the political landscape. As the immediate Former Chairperson of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), Wafula Chebukati played a vital role in conducting elections and ensuring transparency.
The Commission on Revenue Allocation is an independent constitutional body mandated with the responsibility of ensuring equitable distribution of revenue among the national and county governments. The CRA plays a pivotal role in facilitating the devolution process by recommending the allocation of resources to different regions based on their specific needs and priorities.
Mary Wanyonyi brings with her a wealth of experience in public service and governance. With an extensive background in economics and finance, Wanyonyi has been actively involved in various economic development initiatives across the country. She has served in key positions in both the public and private sectors, demonstrating a deep understanding of fiscal management and resource allocation.
