Her entry into the board comes at a time when the government is intensifying efforts to strengthen the country’s digital infrastructure and expand access to e-government services.
ICTA is a key state agency mandated to drive the development, deployment and management of information and communication technology across public institutions.
As a board member, Naiyanoi will be part of the team responsible for providing strategic direction and oversight to the authority.
This includes ensuring that ICTA effectively implements policies and programmes aimed at enhancing digital transformation in Kenya.
The authority also plays a central role in standardising ICT systems within government, promoting innovation and supporting the growth of the digital economy.
Naiyanoi’s appointment adds to the leadership structure tasked with steering ICTA’s mandate at a time when technology continues to shape service delivery and economic growth.
The board is expected to guide the authority in aligning its operations with national development priorities, including improving connectivity, strengthening cybersecurity frameworks and supporting digital inclusion across the country.
Her selection follows the passing of her husband, Johana Ng’eno, who served as the Member of Parliament for Emurua Dikirr.
The appointment marks her entry into public service at a national level, where she will now contribute to policy oversight in a critical sector.
ICTA remains instrumental in implementing flagship government projects such as digitisation of public services, data management systems and ICT infrastructure development.
Through its initiatives, the authority supports ministries, departments and agencies in adopting efficient and secure digital solutions.
