Timothy Bosire rejects President Ruto’s appointment

ODM national Treasurer Timothy Bosire has turned down President William Ruto’s appointment as the non-executive chair of the National Transport and Safety Authority board.
In an interview earlier today with Star, Bosire revealed that he had rejected the appointment after consulting about community interests.

Bosire has nevertheless thanked President William Ruto for the appointment, however saying that when opportunity arises, one must first consider the interests of the society and the community.

“As a leader, I took time to consult and listen to the wishes and interests of the larger community. I came to the conclusion that fairness has not been served,” he said.

“As a community, we have made sacrifices and contributions in critical times and when resources and opportunities are being shared, interests of community must come first.”

Bosire now joins a list of Kenyans who have turned down Ruto’s job offer, after former ICT Cabinet Secretary Margaret Nyambura declined her nomination as Kenya's ambassador to Ghana.
