Isaac Mwaura welcomes appointment as Government Spokesperson

The announcement of his appointment, effective immediately, was made by the Head of Public Service, Felix Koskei, on Wednesday evening.

In a heartfelt message shared on social media, Mwaura thanked President William Ruto and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for entrusting him with the role. 

“Glory be to GOD! HE is indeed so very faithful to those who wait upon HIM. What GOD has kept for you HE will surely make it come to pass no matter how long !” Mwaura stated on X (formerly Twitter).

“Many thanks to President William Ruto and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for appointing me as the Government Spokesman! So help me GOD,” he added.

Mwaura will be deputised by Mwanaisha Chidzuga and Gabriel Muthuma. 

Before his appointment as Government Spokesperson, Mwaura had been nominated by President Ruto to serve as Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) in the Office of Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi. 

However, his assumption of the CAS position had been pending due to a court ruling that suspended the CAS nominations.

The Government Spokesperson position had been vacant since the resignation of Colonel (Retired) Cyrus Oguna in October 2022. Oguna left the role to take up the position of Chief of Staff in Siaya County. 

Mwaura's appointment comes as part of a reorganisation of the Executive by President William Ruto pursuant to Article 132 of the Constitution.
