Swearing in of Dr. Purity Ngina, as the new Commission Secretary/CEO
The Hon. Chief Justice Presided over the swearing in of Dr. Purity Ngina, as the new Commission Secretary/CEO of the National Gender and Equality Commission (NGEC).
The Constitution intends for the National Gender and Equality Commission to play the crucial role of fostering an inclusive society that values the contributions and rights of all its citizens. It is intended to be a facilitator of our Constitution’s vision of a just and equitable society. Hon. Chief Justice urged Dr Ngina to use this unique opportunity to be a powerful voice for the voiceless and an advocate for the rights of the vulnerable and marginalized.
Dr. Ngina’s appointment shows that our nation is increasingly acknowledging the potential and capability of young people. As a believer in the capability of young people myself, I am excited that the Commission has seen it fit to appoint a young competent person to be the driver of its programmes and work.
