Former nominated Senator Millicent Omanga has been appointed by Treasury CS John Mbadi as a member of the Board of the Local Authorities Provident Fund.
In a gazette notice dated Friday November 8, Omanga will serve in the position for a period of three years.
Other members who have been appointed to the board are Samwel Kariuki and Beatrice Kones.
“In exercise of the powers conferred by section 5 (1) (a) of the Local Authorities Provident Fund Act, as read together with section 51 (1) of the Interpretation and General Provisions Act, the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning appoints— Samwel Kariuki Maina, Beatrice Kones, Millicent Nyaboke, to be members of the Board of the Local Authorities Provident Fund, for a period of three (3) years, with effect from the 8th November 2024.

LAP FUND is regulated by the Retirement Benefits Authority (RBA) and is one of the oldest pension schemes in Kenya with over 70,000 members. LAPFUND is a government corporation established by an Act of Parliament in 1960.
Omanga’s new appointment comes days after she declined President Ruto’s appointment to join as a member of the newly constituted Nairobi Rivers Commission.
In a statement, Omanga said she was honored to be appointed to the commission but noted she would take up the role due to personal reasons.
“I’m deeply honored and grateful to H.E. William Ruto for the trust you’ve shown in appointing me to serve on the Nairobi Rivers Commission,” she wrote on her X account.
Omanga added, “It’s truly a privilege to be considered for such a vital role in improving our beloved Nairobi’s environment and public health; however, after careful consideration, I must respectfully decline the appointment due to personal reasons.”
