Ruto appoints Komora as NPSC chair, Siparo joins as member
Their appointments follow approval by the National Assembly on August 14, 2025, confirming that both met all constitutional and legal requirements after their nomination on August 4, 2025
President William Ruto has appointed Amani Yuda Komora as the new Chairperson of the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) for a six-year term.
In a gazette notice dated August 22, 2025, Ruto also named Angeline Yiamiton Siparo as a member of the Commission, also for six years.
"IN EXERCISE of the powers conferred by Article 246 (2) (a) of the Constitution as read with section 6 (8) of the National Police Service Commission Act, 2011, I, William Samoei Ruto, President of the Republic of Kenya and Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Forces, appoint—AMANI YUDA KOMORA to be the Chairperson of the National Police Service Commission, for a term of six (6) years," reads the notice that formalized Komora's nomination.
Their appointments follow approval by the National Assembly on August 14, 2025, confirming that both met all constitutional and legal requirements after their nomination on August 4, 2025.
Komora succeeds Eliud Kinuthia, whose term ended earlier this year, while Siparo is expected to strengthen the Commission’s membership at a time when reforms in policing remain a top government priority.
Dr. Komora is the immediate former Vice-Chairperson of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC).
He has also held senior human resource roles at the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) and Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), and served as a member of the National General Wages Council.
Meanwhile, Siparo is known for her role as coordinator of the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) Legacy Localization Project covering 49 countries.
She has also chaired the National AIDS Control Council from 2016 to 2022 and worked with several organisations, including Oxford HR (AU/Africa CDC), Catholic Medical Mission Board (CMMB), UNAIDS, and Family Health International.
The National Police Service Commission oversees key functions within the police service, including recruitment, appointments, promotions, transfers, and disciplinary control. It also guides policies on police welfare and professional standards.
