Thugge has officially been appointed as the new governor of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK)
for the next four years.
In a
Gazette notice dated June 13, 2023, President William Ruto said Dr Thugge’s appointment
takes effect on June 19.
“IN

Act, I, William Samoei Ruto, President of the Republic of Kenya and
Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Forces appoint KAMAU THUGGE (DR.) to be the

The
National Assembly Finance and Planning Committee on June 6 recommended that Parliament approves Thugge’s nomination.
Dr
