The Public Service Commission (PSC) has appointed Raphael Owino as the new debt boss, replacing Dr Haron Sirima who had served as the director-general of the public debt management unit at the National Treasury for five years.
Mr Owino, an economist based at the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), takes up the job at a time when the current administration is under pressure to reduce debt uptake amidst increased resistance against rising taxation.
