The Institution of Engineers of Kenya (IEK) has urged President William Ruto to revoke the appointment of former Gender Cabinet Secretary Aisha Jumwa as the chairperson of the Kenya Roads Board (KRB).

In a statement issued on Monday, IEK President Shammah Kiteme emphasized that the position requires an individual with extensive engineering expertise, ideally in civil, structural, or transport engineering, to ensure the effective management of road infrastructure.
