The Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) has officially appointed Jackson Magondu as its new Director General for a three-year term. The decision was made by the authority’s chairman and board of directors.

Magondu had been serving as acting Director General following the resignation of former DG Philemon Kandie in July last year. Prior to his acting appointment, he was the Director of Planning, Design, and Environment at the authority.

The new Director General is a professional engineer with over 30 years of experience in the roads and infrastructure sector.

“He brings a wealth of expertise with more than 24 years of post-registration experience in highway and road engineering. He has a proven track record in providing strategic direction and enhancing institutional capacity in rural road construction,” a statement by the board, signed by chairman Antony Ng’ang’a, read.

Magondu holds a Master’s Degree in Infrastructure Management from Yokohama National University, Japan, and a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Nairobi. He has also completed several executive and senior management courses.

He is a registered engineer with the Engineers Board of Kenya (EBK), a corporate member of the Institution of Engineers of Kenya (IEK), and a member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (UK).

“The board of directors congratulates Jackson Magondu on his appointment and wishes him God’s speed as he steers the authority in this new chapter of constructing rural roads and connecting devolved Kenya,” the statement added.
