Kenya's President William Ruto has nominated Susan Koech, a career banker who has also served in top government posts, to be the second deputy governor of the central bank, a parliamentary document showed.
The post has been vacant for more than five years after Ruto's predecessor failed to fill it when its previous occupant left. The bank has been running under the leadership of Patrick Njoroge as the governor, and one deputy, Sheila M'mbijiwe.
The law stipulates that the regulator should have two deputies. Neither the central bank, nor the previous government, has ever commented on the vacancy for the second deputy.Njoroge and M'mbijiwe's terms are set to expire in June, meaning Koech could serve as acting governor if their replacements are not be appointed beforehand, legal experts told Reuters.
