Mary Wanyonyi was Monday morning sworn in as the new chairperson of the Commission on Revenue Allocation.
Chief Justice Martha Koome administered the oath of office to Wanyonyi, who becomes the third chairperson of the commission.
During the ceremony, the Chief Justice noted that the Commission on Revenue Allocation must always strive to meet the needs of Kenyans in every corner of the country and must endeavor to understand the unique needs and aspirations of each county and ensure they get their rightful share of resources.
Wanyonyi pledged to uphold the Commission’s independence and to execute her functions in a transparent, accountable and impartial manner.
“I assure you that the law will be my guiding principle and that no Kenyan will be left behind”, she said.
The new chairperson will take over from Jane Kiringai, who retired in February 2023 and will serve for 6 years.
