Through a Gazette notice dated February 1, 2023, President Ruto officially announced the revocation of Omar Boga's appointment as the chairman of the Coast Water Works Development Agency Board.

Additionally, the appointments of Hussein Ahmed Farah, Rehana Ismail, Abdul Timimi, and Joseph Charo Kambi, who served as board members, were also revoked.

To fill the vacancy, President Ruto appointed Daniel Katama Mwaringa as the new chairman of the board.

The notice stated that Mwaringa's appointment took effect from February 1, 2023 and will last for one year until February 25, 2024.

Additionally, Hafswa Abdalla Dele, Judith Wabosha Mwamburi, and Mohamed Masoud Mwahima were appointed as members of the board, with their terms ending at the same time as Mwaringa's.

<a href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/news/local/omar-boga-lands-new-government-job-months-after-losing-msambweni-by-election/9bmmfml">Omar Boga was appointed by former Water Cabinet Secretary Sicily Kariuki</a> during the Uhuru Kenyatta regime on February 26, 2021, for a three-year term.

He gained nationwide popularity when he contested the Msambweni Constituency by-election in 2020 under the Orange Democratic (ODM) Party.

Despite his efforts, Boga lost the election to independent candidate Feisal Bader, who was an ally Ruto.
