Ruto appoints the Ex-military boss in new state appointments while revoking those made by the previous regime of Uhuru Kenyatta.
On Friday, June 30, President William Ruto appointed Brigadier (Rtd) Richard Mbithi to be the board chair of the East African Portland Cement Company Limited.
Mbithi, who will serve in the position for a period of three years from June 30, 2023, was among several other appointments made by the Head of State.
The brigadier succeeded Edwin Kinyua, whose appointment had been revoked by the President, according to a Gazette notice.
“I, William Samoei Ruto, President of the Republic of Kenya and Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Forces, appoint Brigadier (Rtd) Richard Mbithi to be the Chairperson of the Board of Directors of the East African Portland Cement Company Limited,” read part of the gazette notice.
The East African Portland Cement Company Limited prides itself on its commitment to contributing to the construction of proper housing in the country.
It was established in 1933 and started as a trading company importing cement mainly from England for early construction in East Africa.
The company’s vision is to be the regional leader in the provision of cement, innovative cement products, and solutions.
