Mr Gerald Nyaoma Arita is the new Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), effective January 2025.
CBK Governor Dr Kamau Thugge announced Arita’s designation as he officially assumed office following his appointment by President William Ruto with the approval of the Parliament in November 2024.
“CBK welcomes Arita as he begins his term as Deputy Governor,” said the Governor in a statement on Tuesday. “Arita returns to CBK after a long and distinguished career at the Bank. He joined CBK in August 1988 and served in various senior positions, including in the Financial Markets, Banking Services, and Internal Audit Departments. His career culminated in his role as Director of the Bank Supervision Department.”
