President Ruto nominates ex-NTSA boss Francis Meja as Public Service Commission chairperson
President William Ruto has nominated former NTSA General Director Francis Meja for appointment as the Chairperson of the Public Service Commission (PSC).
The nomination, issued through Notification of Presidential Action No. I of 2026, has been transmitted to the National Assembly for consideration and approval by Parliament.
Meja currently serves as a Member of the Public Service Commission, a role he assumed in January 2025.
He has held several senior leadership positions in the public sector, most notably as the founding Director-General of the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA).
His record also includes service as Registrar of Motor Vehicles in the Ministry of Transport and as a Council Member of Murang’a University of Technology.
In addition to his public service experience, Meja brings over 15 years of experience in banking and financial services. He has served in management roles at Equity Bank Kenya PLC and the Housing Finance Company of Kenya (HFCK).
He holds a Master of Business Administration in Strategic Management from the University of Nairobi.
Chief of Staff and Head of the Public Service, Felix K. Koskei, said the nomination was made “in discharge of the constitutional imperatives on State appointments.”
The appointment process now moves to Parliament, where the National Assembly will consider the nomination before Meja can assume office.
He had earlier vied for the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ticket for the Kajiado governor race in the 2022 General Election. Meja did not clinch the nomination, with the primaries being won by Katoo ole Metito, who garnered 72,679 votes compared to Meja's 13,097.
In November 2023, he moved into the higher education space after Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu appointed him to the Council of Murang’a University of Technology.
His three-year term began on November 10, 2023. The appointment was revoked in an official notice dated January 20, 2025, following his swearing-in as a member of the PSC.
