These twelve members, like the others, will serve on the board for a three-year term. Land Control Boards such as these are vital in managing local land matters and ensuring that land dealings are done transparently and lawfully.
Wahome stated, “In exercise of the powers conferred by Section 5 of the Land Control Act, I appoint the individuals listed to serve as members of the Kajiado West Land Control Board for a three-year period.”
Attorney General Dorcas Oduor’s Appointments to the NCRC

The NCRC is tasked with researching criminal activity in Kenya, identifying root causes of crime, and recommending practical solutions to law enforcement agencies and policy makers. Their research helps in shaping national crime prevention strategies and policies.
The AG said, “It is hereby notified for the general public that under Section 6(2)(i) of the National Crime Research Centre Act of 1997, I appoint Alosa and Boit as members of the council for a term of three years.”
DPP Renson Igonga’s Appointments to the Prosecution Department
In another significant move, Director of Public Prosecutions Renson Igonga announced the appointment of three new scene of crime officers: Antonette Jeptoo Korir, Fredrick Mosoti Makori, and Wamuyu Festus Mwai.
According to the DPP, these officers will be responsible for collecting and preparing photographic evidence from crime scenes to support criminal investigations and prosecutions.
Their work will play a critical role in ensuring that credible visual evidence is available in courtrooms during legal proceedings.
These appointments are part of efforts to strengthen the handling of criminal cases and improve the quality of evidence presented in court.
These recent appointments reflect the government’s ongoing efforts to enhance transparency, accountability, and efficiency in public service through the deployment of qualified individuals across key departments.
