The President chose former Ainamoi Member of Parliament Sylvanus Maritim to serve as the board head of the Information Communication and Technology Authority in a gazette notice dated February 24.

Maritim was one of the 240 candidates that made the final cut for the position of Chief Administrative Secretary. To make room for Maritim, Frederick Owino's appointment as chairman of the ICT authority board has been rescinded.

Mohamed will replace businessman Nick Nesbitt, whose appointment didn't go through by the President, who ran unsuccessfully for the Wajir County governorship in the August 9th General Election on an ANC ticket.

He is known as one of the individuals interested in CAS posts.
