Former IEBC Chair, Issack Hassan, to lead the IPOA Board.
On Tuesday, November 12, President William Ruto smoothly nominated Ahmed Issack Hassan as the chairperson of the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) among several new significant state appointments to government agencies.
During the announcement, the Head of State highlighted Hassan’s suitability for the position based on his extensive experience in the legal field and leadership of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
He mentioned that the nominee is a seasoned Advocate of the High Court of Kenya, possessing three decades of expertise as a legal professional and consultant across different nations such as Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Namibia, and Afghanistan.
Mr. Hassan has obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Law (LL. B) from the University of Nairobi, a Postgraduate Diploma in Law from the Kenya School of Law, and a Diploma in Contemporary Public Administration Management from Galilee International Management Institute, Israel.

They will undergo vetting procedures alongside Hassan for potential appointment to the authority.
Ruto has also selected Charles Orinda Dulo, who is expected to become the next Ombudsman of the country after the vetting process, taking on the role of Chairperson of the Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ).
Dulo is one of the original members of the faculty at Daystar University’s School of Law, where he continues to impart knowledge as a lecturer. He has shared his expertise in law through lectures at several universities such as Strathmore University School of Business, Daystar University School of Law, and Jomo Kenyatta University of Science and Technology (JKUAT) School of Law.
