President Uhuru Kenyatta is expected to fill a number of positions in cash-rich agencies whose heads are either serving in acting capacity or terms are nearing expiry after attaining the mandatory retirement age of 60 years.

They include the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) where commissioner-general John Njiraini’s term comes to an end on March 3.

Industrial and Commercial Development Corporation (ICDC) is also expected to fill the vacant CEO’s position.

Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) deputy governor Sheila M’Mbijiwe is set to quit this year after hitting 60 years.

State pensions body National Social Security Fund (NSSF) is yet to pick a substantive managing trustee whose position is currently held by Anthony Omerikwa in an acting capacity.

The Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA) is also expected to pick a substantive head nearly a year after Godfrey Kiptum was appointed acting commissioner following the exit of former long serving chief executive Sammy Makove.

Pensions regulator Retirement Benefits Authority (RBA) is to announce a substantive head after the exit of long-serving CEO Edward Odundo.

Nzomo Mutuku was from April 1 last year appointed as the acting CEO.

Other agencies expected to pick substantive heads include the Kenya Industrial Research Institute (Kirdi), National Water and conservation and pipeline corporation, Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Authority, ICT Authority, Kenya National Examination Council (Knec) among others.
