The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has announced the addition of three seasoned professionals to its Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), a key body charged with guiding the country’s monetary policy. The appointments of Ms. Isis Nyong’o, Dr. Kemboi Kipruto, and Dr. Freshia Mugo were confirmed on November 22, 2024.

Ms. Isis Nyong’o, a distinguished executive with a Master of Business Administration from Stanford University, brings over a decade of experience spanning private, public, and non-profit sectors. She has served on notable boards, including Equity Bank Group, and played a pivotal role at Google, where she contributed to Africa’s digital economy growth. Ms. Nyong’o’s expertise in corporate strategy, governance, and innovation is expected to be a valuable asset to the MPC.

Dr. Kemboi Kipruto, an accomplished economist and certified financial analyst, joins the committee with extensive experience in research, policy analysis, and data analytics. He holds a PhD in Economics from Moi University and has held prominent roles in academia, including lecturing at Moi University and coordinating economic programs. Dr. Kipruto’s strong background in developing and implementing economic strategies is anticipated to enhance the MPC’s analytical depth.

Dr. Freshia Mugo, an expert in international finance and risk management, completes the trio. Holding a Master of Business Administration from Sogang University in South Korea, Dr. Mugo has over 14 years of experience, including leadership roles at the Anti-Money Laundering Advisory Board and the National Treasury. Her expertise in governance, regulatory compliance, and financial risk will further strengthen the committee’s oversight capabilities.
