Nairobi — President William Ruto has effected a major reshuffle in the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), appointing Major General John Maiso Nkoimo as the new Deputy Commander of the Kenya Army alongside a series of promotions, appointments and tenure extensions across the military's top ranks.

The changes, announced on Friday by the Ministry of Defence, were made upon the recommendation of the Defence Council and are aimed at strengthening leadership within the country's armed forces.

Major General Nkoimo takes over from Major General Mohamed Nur Hassan, who has proceeded on retirement. Prior to his appointment, Nkoimo served as the General Officer Commanding (GOC) Central Command, one of the army's key operational formations.

In another significant appointment, Brigadier Mohamud Salah Farah, formerly the Base Commander at Laikipia Air Base, was named Deputy Air Force Commander, elevating him to one of the most senior positions within the Kenya Air Force.

Brigadier Peter Kipketer Limo was similarly promoted to Major General and appointed Assistant Chief of Defence Forces in charge of Personnel and Logistics at Defence Headquarters.

Major General Limo succeeds Major General Edward Rugendo, who has been appointed Managing Director of the Defence Forces Welfare Services. Before his elevation, Limo served as the Managing Director of the welfare agency.
