The Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning of the National Assembly, in conjunction with the Senate Standing Committee on Finance and Budget, on Tuesday conducted approval hearings for Mr. Pius Ang’asa, the presidential nominee for appointment as a Board Member of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK).
Mr. Ang’asa’s vetting follows a formal communication to the Speakers of both Houses by the Head of Public Service, notifying them of his nomination by President William Ruto in accordance with Section 11(2) of the Central Bank of Kenya Act, Cap 491.
According to the Act, appointments to the CBK Board require parliamentary approval, prompting the joint session by the relevant House committees.
During the session, Mr. Ang’asa presented his credentials and responded to questions regarding his qualifications, leadership experience, and vision for Kenya’s financial sector. A seasoned business executive, Mr. Ang’asa brings over 22 years of commercial and operational leadership experience, particularly in the technology and telecommunications industries.
He has held notable positions at global firms such as Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent, and currently serves as Chairman of International Needs Kenya as well as Hill Flats Residence.
