Her appointment follows the completion of the term of outgoing Acting CEO, CPA Paskal Opiyo, who has led the agency over the past year.
Before her appointment, Ms Muluka served as Acting Chief Manager for Corporate Services and Administration, and was also the substantive Manager for Corporate Communications at the Board.
The KFCB Board of Directors extended its appreciation to Mr Opiyo for what it called his “dedicated service and steady stewardship” during his tenure.
