President William Ruto has nominated Renson Mulele Ingonga as next Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
In a memo forwarded to the National Assembly on Thursday, August 17, the Head of State noted that Ingonga is a qualified legal practitioner who will serve with honour.
Ruto, therefore, asked Members of the National Assembly to vet the nominee according to the provisions of the Law.
Mulele has been serving as a senior assistant director of public prosecution, a position he was promoted to in 2022.
He emerged as the best candidate from a pool of applicants among them Danstan Omari, Thomas Lentangule, Jacinta Nyaboke Nyamosi, Victor Vinyl Mule, Taib Ali Taib, Tabitha Wanyama Ouya, and David Kiplagat Ruto, among others.
If approved as the next director of public prosecutions, Mulele shall hold office for a term of eight years and shall not be eligible for re-appointment.
The position of DPP was left vacant after Noordin Haji was appointed as the Director General of the National Intelligence Service.
