President William Ruto has reappointed Bishop Robert Theuri Maina as the Chair of the Kenya National Library Services Board for a two-year term.
The appointment, confirmed through a gazette notice, extends Theuri’s leadership in overseeing the country’s library services.
“In exercise of the powers conferred by section 3 (2) and Paragraph 1 (2) of the Schedule to the Kenya National Library Services Board Act, I, William Samoei Ruto, President of the Republic of Kenya and Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Forces, reappoint Robert Theuri Maina to be the Chairperson of the Kenya National Library Services Board, for a period of two (2) years, with effect from the 28th February 2025,” the notice said.
His reappointment comes as Ruto faces growing scrutiny from religious leaders, with Catholic bishops recently criticizing his administration over unfulfilled promises and governance challenges.
