President William Ruto on Monday set the stage for former National Treasury Secretary Dr Kamau Thugge to be the tenth governor of the Central Bank of Kenya.

President Ruto forwarded his name to Parliament for scrutiny. If approved, Dr Thugge, who is currently serving as senior advisor and head of fiscal and budget policy in the Executive Office of the President will replace Dr Patrick Njoroge, who is serving his second and final four-year term and will exit next month.
