Boga was appointed by former Water Cabinet Secretary Sicily Kariuki under the Uhuru regime on February 26, 2021, for a period of three years.
He came into the limelight when he vied for the Msambweni Constituency by-election in 2020 under the Orange Democratic (ODM) Party.
Boga lost in the by-election to independent candidate Feisal Bader, an ally of Deputy President William Ruto who garnered 15,251 votes.
The by-election saw the rift between Uhuru and Ruto widen as the former president openly endorsed Boga who was vying through the opposition party while Bader was vying as an independent candidate.
Ruto has been reorganizing his administration through a series of key appointments to various boards and parastatals.
