Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) has a new board chairperson. In the changes announced Friday through a Gazette Notice, President William Ruto has revoked the appointment of Zachary Maburi Mwita.<\/p>\n

He has instead named Joseah Kiplangat Cheruiyot as the new board chair to replace him for a three-year period. Mwita was appointed by retired president Uhuru Kenyatta back in 2021.<\/p>\n

Also affected by the changes are four board members whose appointments have been revoked by Health Cabinet Secretary Susan Nakhumicha. Nakhumicha has fired Naomi Kathure Mutua, Stephen Ochiel, Jennifer Bosibori Kibagendi and Fredrick Wamwaki.<\/p>\n

She named Paul Kaino Cheboi, Eunice Wangui Karanja, Hardlyne Lusui, Joseph Ouma Atonga as the new members. Their appointments will lapse in August 2026. The Gazette Notice is dated August 18.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the head of state has named David Ndegwa Nyokabi as the non-executive chairperson of the Kenya National Public Health Institute (KNPHI).<\/p>\n

“The appointment of Gerald Macharia is revoked,” reads the notice. Nyokabi’s appointment for a period of three years takes effect August 18.<\/p>\n
