Nyakera was the chairperson of the Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA) since May 15, 2023, before his appointment was revoked last week.
He was replaced as KEMSA chairperson by Narok Governor Samuel Tunai, who was appointed through a Gazette Notice dated August 22, 2024.
“In exercise of the powers conferred by section 5 (1) (a) of the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority Act, as read together with section 51 (1) of the Interpretation and General Provisions Act, I (President William Ruto) appoint Samuel Tunai as the Chairperson of the Board of Directors of the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority,” the notice reads in part.
Tunai is set to serve for a period of three years, with the appointment taking effect on August 23, 2024.
“The appointment of Irungu Nyakera is revoked,” Ruto said.
Nyakera will serve for a period of three years.
Nyakera replaced Adelina Mwau as KICC chairperson, whose appointment was revoked.
