Former Communications Authority of Kenya Director General Francis Wangusi has passed away after a long illness.
The news was announced by Stephen Mutoro, the Secretary General of COFEK.
Wangusi served as DG for the ICT regulator until the end of his tenure. He was appointed back in 2012 to 2019.
At the end of January 2023, a request was made to the general public to donate blood. The message, which was sent by Walter Bulimu, the senior pastor of Friends Church Quakers, urged church members to donate blood for Mr. Francis Wangusi, who was hospitalized at Nairobi Hospital with low blood levels.
In the last couple of months, the CA has undergone some leadership changes. The organization received a new Director General, Ezra Chiloba, over a year ago, replacing Mercy Wanjau, who was in an interim position.
Mercy had taken over from Francis Wangusi.
The CA now has a new Board Chairman, Mary Wambui Mungai who took over from Gilbert Kibe. Kibe had only served for a few months before his departure.
The CA further did some Board shakeup following the appointment of new members.
These new members are Bhoke Christine Nchama, Esther Njoki Njoroge, Mgeni Mboto Hassan, Joel Nyambane Okengo, Eric Langat, Alex Wafula Wamalwa, and Nicholas Kamuya Ng’arua.
May he rest in peace!
