Speaking on the issue, Mucheru stated: “He is 61 years old and ought to have retired last year, and his contract has now expired.”
Affirming the board’s decision of appointing Ms Wanjau, Mucheru stated that the new CA acting Director-General’s appointment was processed by the board members and the chairman.
“CA has a board, and it is an independent authority which has the authority to take care of that institution,” he noted.

Following the announcement of Ms Wanjau taking over the authority, Mr Wanjusi defiantly asserted that he will not hand over his position.
He insisted that he is still in charge of the authority despite his term ending on Wednesday.

However, Wanjau holds experience in commercial law, regulatory and governance professional.
Prior to her appointment, she worked as a commercial lawyer, a regulatory and governance professional, who has previously consulted with KPMG South Africa, PricewaterhouseCoopers Kenya and served at the UN-International Telecommunications Union.
