The appointment by President Uhuru Kenyatta will see Ms Odhiambo take over the role from Lt. Gen (Rtd) Jackson Waweru whose term came to an end at the road’s agency last year.
“In exercise of the powers conferred by section 6 (1) (a) of the National Transport and Safety Authority Act, 2012, I, Uhuru Kenyatta, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces, appoint— Agnes N. Odhiambo to be the Chairperson of the board of the NTSA , for a period of three years,” read the notice in the Kenya Gazette.
Ms Odhiambo will also be joing NTSA barely a few weeks after the agency temporarily suspended crucial services including issuance of the new digital driving licence to tame the spread of coronavirus.
