The former LSK boss has been appointed after Abdirahin H. Abdi's application was revoked, though he had wished to retain the position.
Havi will serve for a period of three years as his appointment takes effect immediately.
Havi has been in the limelight ever since he left the top office in LSK and dived into politics hoping to land the Westlands legislative job.
