Mr. Joseph K. Kinyua was appointed in
president Uhuru’s administration to serve as the Chief Of Staff and Head
of public Service.
The former long-serving Treasury permanent secretary was among the most powerful bureaucrats during former President Mwai Kibaki’s 10-year term until when there was change of power to Jubilee government that saw the PS positions abolished and replaced by principal secretaries under the new constitution.
Mr Kinyua, 62 years, was the central figure in the execution and oversight of most economic policies in Kibaki’s government. For years, he led the team that crafted the annual Budget, the Treasury’s most important policy document that guides the government on raising and spending money.
As a high-ranking economist who had worked at both the Treasury and
the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), Mr Kinyua was a major actor in policy
decisions over the past three decades. He took his first government
posting in 1980 as an economist in CBK’s research department
