In under three years, Kamau Thugge has moved from a key suspect in the Kimwarer and Arror dams scandal to a State witness and an economic adviser of President William Ruto before being nominated to become the tenth governor of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) in one of the rarest comebacks for a senior public servant in recent times.
If cleared by Parliament, Dr Thugge will be back in pole position to drive President Ruto's economic agenda in the next four years and will replace Dr Patrick Njoroge who has had a rough run in the last months of his tenure battling the twin problems of a depreciating currency and runaway inflation.
