The Public Service Commission (PSC) has appointed Paul Famba as its new Secretary and chief executive officer (CEO).
In a statement on Wednesday, June 5, PSC said Famba will serve in the position for five years effective August 1, 2024.

Famba will replace Simon Rotich whose tenure as Secretary and Chief Executive Officer comes to an end in July 2024.

Famba will also bring to the Commission a wealth of experience as a career administrator, having served in senior positions in the Government as Assistant County Commissioner, State Protocol Officer, Deputy County Commissioner, and Director of Administration.
The new CEO was also recognized and awarded by President William Ruto with the Moran of the Order of the Burning Spear (MBS) and the Order of the Grand Warrior of Kenya (OGW).
PSC last month announced an open vacancy for the position of CEO through an advertisement published by a local daily.
The commission shortlisted 11 candidates for the top position including Paul Famba.
The others were Brian Muithya Mutie, Judy Wangechi, Irene Cherotich Asienga, Sylvester Odhiambo Obong’o, Mahat Osman Shale, Joan Machayo, Christopher Leparan Tialal, Bahati Keranga Mwita, Gababo Dido Jillo and Juliana Nashipae Yiapan.
