President William Ruto has named Mary Wanyonyi chair of the Commission on Revenue Allocation.
Wafula Chebukati's wife will take over from Jane Kiringai who retired after serving for six years. State House spokesperson confirmed the nomination of Chebukati's spouse, who managed to outperform three recommended persons including Thomas Ludindi Mwadeghu and Felicity Nkirote Biriri. Wanyonyi is an accomplished Accountant and a certified mediator.
"The Head of State has pursuant to Article 215 (2)(a) of the Constitution nominated CPA Mary A.Canyonyi for appointment as the Chairperson of the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA)," State House spokesperson Hussein Mohamed said.
Wanyonyi has a Bachelor of Commerce degree in Accounting and a Master's degree in Business Administration. Her impressive track record in the field of Accounting spans over three decades. She is currently the Senior Deputy Accountant General and Head of the Accounting Unit in the Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development. Prior to her position at the Ministry, Wanyonyi served as a board member in State agencies including Kenyatta National Hospital.
Ruto's appointments appear to confirm Azimio leader Raila Odinga's claims that the head of state rewards loyalists. According to the opposition boss, the increase in the number of CAS and other state positions gave Ruto ample space to reward loyalists. From when he assumed office, Mr Ruto has bestowed plump state jobs to individuals who aided his campaigns.

Wafula Chebukati:
Siku za mwizi ni arobaini. Uliwaruhusu watu wasiofaa kugombea kiti chochote cha uongozi nchini kinyume (against ) cha Sura ya Sita ya Katiba mpya ya Kenya. Wakati wa matokeo ya uchaguzi wa rais, ulitumia kifua na mabavu kinyume cha wenzako wa IEBC na kutusukumia Samoei kama rais wa nchi.
Ulitangaza kwa makosa matokeo ya uchaguzi wa rais na kumruhusu mtu asiyefaa kuwa rais wa Kenya (Samoei) na sasa watu wa Kenya wanaumia sana kwa hali ngumu ya maisha kwa sababu ya uamuzi wako mbaya wa kumpa urais mtu ambaye haifai hata kuchunga mburiiyi kuwa rais wa Kenya. Mimi simtambui rafiki yako Samoei kama rais wa Kenya.
Nimesema mara nyingi hapa ya kwamba, kama wewe ungalisoma vizuri Sura ya Sita (6) ya Katiba Mpya ya Kenya, hungalimruhusu Raila au Samoei kugombea urais wa Kenya. Wote wawili hawakufaa kugombea urais wa Kenya kutokana na vitendo vyao vibaya walivyotenda katika nchi ya Kenya hapo awali.
Sasa twaona Samoei akikushukuru kwa kazi mbaya uliyofanya kwa kumpa mkeo kazi nchini.
SIKU ZA MWIZI NI AROBAINI.
Pia mie simtambui Samoei kama rais wa 🇰🇪
Let's not jump into unfounded conclusions regarding Ruto's motives behind the appointment. She seems qualified based on her professional and work history.

What's the problem with that if she qualifies for the job?
