Duncan Ojwang assumed the chairmanship of the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA), while Flora Nduku Mutua became a member of the Public Service Commission (PSC). Antonina Lentoijoni and Wilson Sossion also took their oaths after being appointed to serve on the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).
The appointments, published in the Kenya Gazette on Monday, also saw Flora Nduku Mutua named to the PSC, while Antonina Lentoijoni and Wilson Sossion were appointed members of the TSC. All four appointments will run for six years.
Ruto had nominated Sossion and Lentoijoni to fill vacant positions at the commission following a period when the TSC had fewer members than required.
The former Kenya National Union of Teachers Secretary-General made the disclosure on Thursday when he appeared before the National Assembly Departmental Committee on Education for vetting over his proposed appointment to the TSC.
The TSC nominations were announced as part of a wider list of appointments, promotions and redeployments approved by the President.
Former KNUT boss Wilson Sossion has accused current leaders of weakening the union’s advocacy and confirmed interest in contesting Collins Oyuu for secretary-general in the April 2026 elections.
Former KNUT boss Wilson Sossion Sossion says infrastructure development is only one part of a larger education planning system that includes student population forecasting, teacher recruitment and training, and provision of learning materials.
Sossion recalled that the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), developed by the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD), was introduced to replace the 8-4-4 system, which was criticized for focusing on memorization and exams rather than practical skills and creativity.
Speaking on Monday, he stressed the need for upgraded drainage, sewage systems, enforcement of riparian laws, and reimagined city planning to prevent further loss of life and property in both urban and rural areas.
The former KNUT Secretary-General praised NG-CDF for transforming education infrastructure and ending the era when schools relied on endless harambees to put up classrooms and facilities.
Sossion emphasized the importance of honesty and transparency in leadership, noting that leaders should be willing to speak candidly with their citizens.
