Former Gender and Culture Cabinet Secretary Aisha Jumwa has been appointed the chairperson of the Kenya Roads Board by President William Ruto. The announcement, made on Friday through Gazette Notice Number 395, marked a significant turn in Jumwa’s career. Her appointment is effective from January 17, 2025, and will run for a three-year term, concluding in 2028.
Aisha Jumwa expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the president, describing the role as a privilege and a call to serve under the visionary leadership of President Ruto. She pledged her full commitment to serving Kenyans in her new capacity, emphasizing her dedication to advancing the country’s infrastructure development.
“Under H.E William Samoei Ruto’s visionary leadership, Kenya’s infrastructure continues to transform lives and drive economic growth. I am inspired by this progress and pledge to work diligently to further enhance this in line with BETA. I look forward to diligently serving my fellow Kenyans towards the betterment of our great nation. God bless Kenya,” she said.
The former Kilifi gubernatorial aspirant noted that her new role aligns with her passion for progress and development. Jumwa reaffirmed her commitment to ensuring the continuity of transformative projects initiated by President Ruto’s administration.
President Ruto exercised his powers as the head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces to confirm the appointment. This new role comes as a relief for Jumwa, who has been out of the limelight since her dismissal from the Cabinet in mid-2024.
Her appointment to the Kenya Roads Board is seen as a strategic move to ensure the continued implementation of key infrastructure projects critical to the country’s economic growth.
