Weeks after he took office, the new Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi has made some appointments.
Mbadi fired four officials; Martha Opisa Okochil, Louis Karisa, Ruth Jerotich and Tom Okundi who served as trustees to the Kenya National Entrepreneurs Savings Trust.
He has replaced them with people who are from associations addressing issues affecting workers in informal sector are in touch with hustlers in the ground.
The four new appointees are Irene Githiga (Federation of Matatu Drivers and Conductors Association), Kevin Bwire Mubadi (Kenya National Boda Boda Association), Joseph Kisoro Ogola (Kenya National Federation of Jua Kali Association) and Teresia Njenga (Mitumba Association).
They will serve for three years, effective immediately.
The Trust is a national pension scheme established by the government to assist informal sector workers across the country.
The changes come as pressure keeps piling on President William Ruto’s cabinet to deliver on their promises following nationwide protests in the past two months whereby the public expressed disaffection on the Kenya Kwanza regime.
