President William Ruto has nominated Francis Meja as the Chairperson of the Public Service Commission (PSC).
Head of Public Service Felix Koskei, in a communique on Wednesday, said the nomination has been transmitted to the National Assembly for consideration and approval by Parliament.
“His Excellency the President, has today nominated Mr. Francis Meja for appointment as the Chairperson of the Public Service Commission.
“The nominee is currently serving as a Member of the Public Service Commission, following his appointment in January 2025,” read the communique.
Meja has previously held several senior executive and leadership positions, most notably as the founding Director-General of the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA).
His public service record also includes a tenure as a Council Member of Murang’a University of Technology and as the Registrar of Motor Vehicles in the Ministry of Transport.
Beyond his public sector background, Meja brings to the role over fifteen years of experience in banking and financial services, having served in various management roles at Equity Bank Kenya PLC and the Housing Finance Company of Kenya (HFCK).
The PSC Chairperson nominee holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Strategic Management from the University of Nairobi.
The appointment process now moves to Parliament, where the National Assembly will consider the nomination before Meja can assume office.
If approved, Meja will replace former PSC Chairperson Ambassador Anthony Muchiri, who exited the commission following the end of his tenure.
