Former police boss David Kimaiyo and ex-Attorney General Githu Muigai have been named non-executive chairpersons of Kenyatta National Hospital and Legal Education Council respectively.
Prof Muigai resigned on February 13, 2018, from the position he had held since taking over from Amos Wako in August 2011 following the promulgation of the 2010 Constitution.
Before his appointment as AG Prof Muigai was a partner in Mohammed-Muigai Advocates and has been a UN special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Racism, Racial Discrimination Xenophobia and Related Intolerance.
Kimaiyo who had served in government for 35 years, was appointed as the first Inspector General of Police after the new Constitution came into place.
His appointment comes just a month after Health Cabinet Secretary Sicily Kariuki suspended the hospital’s Chief Executive Officer Lilian Koros following series of scandals at the facility.
The former police boss replaces Mark Bor who is headed to Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret for a three year term as the Board’s chairman.
