The State House Spokesperson, Hussein Mohamed, has been promoted in the latest reorganization of President William Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza government.
Hussein’s upper hand knocked on his new role on Monday, January 9, 2023, at State House in Nairobi.
News sources reveal that Mohamed’s office is separated from that of the Director of the Presidential Press and will now run independently from its daily operation.
The former Director of Communications in the Presidential Campaign team will now streamline directly to the Head of State.
Mohamed’s office was initially liked by the Presidential Communication Secretary (PCS), where he served as deputy to David Mugonyi.
“The Order removes the long processes and streamlines communication in the high office. We expect a seamless flow of information and less bureaucracy because of fewer and clear reporting lines’’, an insider disclosed to the Media.
The two were appointed through order in October 2022 following the disbandment of the Presidential Service Communication Unit (PSCU).
