Ruto revokes appointment of KICC Board Chair Irungu Nyakera, appoints Samuel Waweru.
President William Ruto has revoked the appointment of former Principal Secretary and the current chairperson of the Kenyatta International Conference Centre(KICC), Irungu Nyakera.
In effect, the President has appointed Samuel Waweru Mwangi as the chairperson of the historical convention point.
In a gazette notice published on Tuesday, April 1, Ruto announced the appointment of Waweru for three years.
”In exercise of the powers conferred by section 43 (1) (a) of the Tourism Act, as read together with section 51 (1) of the Interpretation and General Provisions Act, I, William Samoei Ruto, President of the Republic of Kenya and Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Forces, appoint— Samuel Waweru Mwangi to be the Chairperson of the Board of Directors of the Kenyatta International Convention Centre, for a period of three (3) years, with effect from the 1st April, 2025. The appointment of Irungu Nyakera is revoked,” read part of the notice.
Taking to his social media shortly after the publishing of the notice, Nyakera, the former chairperson, sarcastically responded to the revocation of his appointment.
”I feel special to be fired through a special issue, they could not wait for Friday,” Nyakera stated.
This comes after Nyakera declared that he will be skipping President William Ruto’s highly anticipated Mount Kenya tour.

In a statement on Sunday, March 30, Nyakera stated that he would be otherwise engaged with school work at Oxford University.
“I will not be present during the President’s upcoming visit to Mt Kenya as I am still in school at Oxford University. That said, I want to share my message with the people and leaders of Mt Kenya,” he stated.
He went on to share his message with the people and leaders of Mt. Kenya, asking them to focus on development—not politics—during President William Ruto’s tour.
“In the last election, Mt Kenya voted for development and development, as we all know, comes through the Office of the President,” Irungu said.
“History has taught us harsh lessons. When Mzee Jomo Kenyatta visited Kisumu with Jaramogi Oginga Odinga and was received with hostility, development in that region came to a halt for decades.”
