State starts Dr. Amoth’s appointment process as Health DG

Acting Health Director General Dr. Patrick Amoth could soon be the next Health Director General if recommendations from Kenyans go through.

This follows after Parliament requested citizens to submit any representation by written statement on oath (affidavit) contesting the suitability of Dr. Amoth for appointment to the position of Director General of Health.

Heath Cabinet Secretary Susan Nakhumicha nominated Dr Patrick Amoth as the Director General for health and forwarded his name to Parliament for approval.

“It is notified that in accordance with section 6(9) of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, Cap. 7F, the Committees invite interested members of the public to submit any representations by written statements on oath (Affidavits), with supporting evidence, on the suitability of the nominee for appointment to the position of Director General for Health,” read the memoranda from the National Assembly.
