President Uhuru Kenyatta has appointed George Opondo Ooko to be the chairperson of the Kenyatta National Hospital board.
In a gazette notice dated April 22, Uhuru said Ooko will take up the task effective April 21, 2020, up to May 2, 2022.
The appointment of Nicholas Gumbo was revoked.
The former Rarieda MP was to serve the board for a period of three years.
Gumbo vied for the Siaya gubernatorial seat but lost to the current Governor Cornel Rasanga in the 2017 elections.
He vied as an independent candidate after losing the ODM ticket to Rasanga in what he termed as “rigged primaries”, but failed to win the seat.
In March this year, Gumbo was not among ODM defectors who trooped back after a meeting with party leader Raila Odinga.
