The Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK) Board today appointed Mr. Francis Wamukota Wangusi as the Acting Director General of the CCK. This follows an order issued by the High Court on Wednesday, 10 August 2011, instructing Mr. Charles J.K. Njoroge to cease acting as the Director General until the case challenging his re-appointment is heard and determined.
The court order also indicated that if the CCK Board chose to replace Mr. Njoroge, then the said replacement would be in an acting capacity until the matter was concluded.
Until his appointment, Mr. Wangusi was the Director in charge of Special Projects and Broadcasting at the CCK. He has over twenty seven years of experience in the communications industry and has held other positions at the commission including Director, Licensing Compliance and Standards, and Head of the Secretariat for the Digital Transition Committee. Mr. Wangusi had earlier worked as a senior lecturer at the Kenya College of Communications Technology (KCCT), now Multimedia University College of Kenya.
Mr. Wangusi holds a Masters degree in Space Sciences with specialization in Satellite Communications from the International Space University, France; a BSc in Telecommunications Engineering from the University of Rome, Italy, and a Charted Engineer Part II Certificate from the Institute of Electronics Engineering, UK.
