President Uhuru Kenyatta has kept his promise to the family of the late Bomet Governor Joyce Laboso by appointing her husband, Edwin Abonyo, to the State Corporation Advisory Committee.
Abonyo was appointed alongside other members, including Winfred Kaburu, Cecil Kuyo, Cyrus Gituai, Tom Maina Macharia, Roselyn Tumpeyo, and Gloria Ndekei.
The appointments were made through a gazette notice, which was published on October 14, 2019.

Meanwhile, Labour CS Ukur Yatani has appointed former Othaya MP Mary Wambui Munene as the chairperson of the National Employment Authority.
