Koskei explained that the position was a ministerial-level appointment. Owalo will, among other roles, be responsible for the effective and efficient implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of priority projects and initiatives.
Former Public Service CS Moses Kuria has also made a comeback in Ruto’s administration after being appointed as a senior advisor on the economy.
“To bolster the implementation of the BETA Plan by the broad-based government, the head of state and government has caused the appointment of Hon. Moses Kiarie Kuria, HSC, as a Senior Advisor in his Council of Economic Advisors,” continued Koskei.
Dennis Itumbi has been appointed as the head of Creative Economy and Special Projects in the Executive Office of the President.
