Kamotho takes over the chairmanship of the board from Dickson Waweru, who took charge in 2020.
Last month, Kamotho was also appointed as the chairperson of the Capital Markets Tribunal.
The lawyer was a member of the UDA Party's Electoral and Nominations Dispute Resolution Committee.
He was one of the 57 lawyers who represented President William Ruto in the 2022 presidential petition tabled by the Azimio la Umoja coalition.
In 2020, Kamotho sued the government before the Environment court to compel the Ministry of Transport to construct washrooms at designated points on major highways for use by long-distance travelers.
He holds a Ph.D. in Business Administration from the University of Nairobi.
In other appointments gazetted on Friday, Treasury Cabinet Secretary Njuguna Ndungu appointed Hillary Marrimoi and Raymond Nyamweya, to be members of the Competition Tribunal, for a period of three years.
