National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula has announced the nomination of Andrew Musangi to be the next Central Bank of Kenya(CBK) chairperson.

The nominee's name has been forwarded to the Finance Committee for vetting.

Upon approval, Musangi will take over for Mohammed Nyaoga, who resigned in June after serving his second term in office.
