Ruto Unleashes New List Of Military Promotions
There have been several promotions and changes in the Kenya Defence Forces under President William Ruto, which have signalled major changes in the military hierarchy.
Charles Muriu Kahariri, the Vice Chief of Defence Forces, has been named as the Chief of Defence Forces and promoted to the rank of General, marking a significant change in the country’s security apparatus.
Concurrently, Major General John Omenda, the former commander of the Kenya Air Force, has advanced to the rank of Vice Chief of Defence Forces, continuing his impressive military career.
Major General Fatuma Ahmed is the first woman to hold such a high-ranking position in the Kenya Air Force, making her appointment a historic one. She notably brings a plethora of expertise with her, having held a top position as Directing Staff Air at the National Defence College before.
In a calculated attempt to maintain regional equilibrium, Major General Thomas Ng’ang’a has been replaced as the commander of the Kenya Navy by Brigadier Paul Otieno, a former managing director of Kenya Shipyards Limited, who has been elevated to the rank of Major General.
Maj Gen Ng’ang’a has been redeployed to the National Defence University, where he will serve as Vice Chancellor of Finance and Administration, bringing his experience to the military’s academic domain.
Brig Peter Githinji, who has been elevated to Major General and appointed senior directing staff, will further strengthen the leadership at the National Defence College by contributing his expertise.
In an attempt to maximize operational effectiveness, Brigadier Samuel Kipkorir became the deputy commander of the Kenya Air Force, adding to the aerial division’s command structure, and Brig George Okumu was promoted to Major General and assigned to manage the Kenya Ordinance Factories Corporation and Food Processing Factory.
