Mutahi Kahiga has nominated Caroline Karugu as Nyeri Deputy Governor.
The seat fell vacant after the death of Governor Wahome Gakuru on November 7, 2017.
Kahiga, who later took over, has forwarded Karugu’s name to the Assembly for vetting and approval, should she succeed.
Deputy Speaker Samuel Kariuki read the message on her nomination at the start of sittings on Thursday.
Karugu is the chair of the Board Technical Committee of the Geothermal Development Company, following her appointment as a member in 2015. The appointment was by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The candidate has more than 12 years’ experience in regional capital markets and financial service, and has worked in organisations including Britam.
