Communication Authority of Kenya (CA) Director General Ezra Chiloba has been suspended.
An internal memo by board chair Mary Mungai communicated the suspension on Monday following a board meeting.
As a result, Christopher Wambua has been appointed as Acting Director General.
"Following a meeting of the Authority’s Board held on 18th September 2023, resulting in the suspension of the Director General, I am pleased to inform all staff of the appointment of Mr Christopher Wambua as a Director General in Acting Capacity effective today until further notice. I trust that you will accord him the necessary support," Mungai said.
The suspension comes two years after his appointment to the docket. He took over from Francis Wangusi following his retirement in 2021.
According to the appointment letter, Chiloba was to serve in the position for a renewable period of four years.
Before his appointment to CA, Chiloba had been sacked as Chief Executive Officer of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission in October 2018.
