President William Ruto has nominated the late billionaire Chris Kirubi’s son-in-law, Andrew Mukite Musangi, for the position of Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) chairperson.
National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula conveyed the message in his address in Parliament on Thursday, August 17.
“The President seeks the approval of the Parliament on the said nomination,” Wetangula stated.
If approved, Musangi, who was the chairman of the Jubilee Party National Elections Board, will replace lawyer Mohammed Nyaoga whose four-year term came to an end in June 2023.
Nyaoga departed CBK alongside former governor Patrick Njoroge and his deputy Sheila M’Mbijjewe.
Musangi is a senior consultant at LJA Associates and a lawyer by trade. He has also served on various company boards, including the Chairman of The Public Procurement Oversight Authority.
Chris Kirubi’s son-in-law received his law degree from the University of Hull (UK) in 1993 and was admitted to the Bar in 1995.
Musangi founded his own firm, Mukite Musangi & Company Advocates (MMC), in December 1998, with a focus on commercial and corporate law.
As a lawyer, he specialises in Dispute Resolution, Banking and Finance Law, Conveyancing and Real Estate, Corporate and Commercial Law, Intellectual Property, Debt Recovery, Receivership, Bankruptcy, Insolvency, Employment, and Tax.
