Ruto Appoints Chebukati’s Wife Mary Wanyonyi As CRA Chair

President William Ruto has nominated Mary Wanyonyi as the Chairperson of the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA). 

Wanyonyi will take over the Commission following the retirement of Jane Kiringai after a six-year term. 

“The Head of State has pursuant to Article 215 (2)(a) of the Constitution nominated CPA Mary A.C Wanyonyi for appointment as the Chairperson of the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA),” State House spokesperson Hussein Mohamed said.

“Ms. Wanyonyi is a Certified Accountant and a Certified Mediator who also holds a Master’s degree in Business Administration and a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting). The nominee has had a stellar career in accounting spanning over three decades,” the statement read in part.

Wanyonyi is the spouse of former IEBC chair Wafula Chebukati.
