President William Ruto has appointed former Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich as the Senior Advisor on Fiscal Affairs and Budget Policy.
The appointment was made in a letter from the Head of the Public Service Felix Koskei.
Rotich, who previously served as the head of Macroeconomics at the Treasury before becoming a Cabinet Secretary in 2013, was relieved from his position on January 14, 2020, following a court case in which he was an accused person.
The court dropped charges against Rotich in December on specific breaches under procurement and public finance management laws, finding a lack of evidence.
Trial Magistrate Eunice Nyutu said there is no evidence to warrant them being placed on their defence.
"All the accused persons in this case are hereby acquitted under section 210 due to lack of evidence as a result of the reckless dereliction of duty by the prosecution," the magistrate said.
Rotich holds a Master’s degree in Economics and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Economics and Sociology from the University of Nairobi.
