Zachariah Kìnùthia (born 10 July 1988), popularly known as Zack Kìnùthia,[1] was the Chief Administrative Secretary,[2] Ministry of Sports, Culture, and Heritage between January 2020 and February 2022 when he resigned.[3][4] He is also a former chairman of the Student Organization of Nairobi University (SONU).

Early life and education

Zack Kìnùthia, the son of Lucy Mugure,[5] was born in Marumī village, Kigumo Ward, Gatitu Constituency, Murang’a County. He hails from the Kikuyu tribe, a Bantu ethnic group. He attended Kigumo Primary School in his home County and later joined Gaichanjiru High School in Murang’a County.

In 2010, after accomplishing his secondary education, he joined the University of Nairobi, where he pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and Political Science.[6] While at the University of Nairobi, he ventured into student politics and was elected SONU chairman.[7] He also served as a Christian Union leader. Zack Kìnùthia is currently pursuing a degree in Law at the same University.[8]

Leadership

While at University of Nairobi, Zack Kìnùthia successfully vied for the chairmanship of the student leadership position for the year 2013–2014,[9] joining previous luminaries like Kabando wa Kabando, Wafula Buke, Mwandawiro Mgangha and Eric Janganya. He was also an active member of the Christian Union and was elected leader in 2013.[10]

Career

In 2014, after graduating from the University with his bachelor’s degree, Zack Kìnùthia worked as a research assistant at a community project supporting the fight against HIV/AIDS in Kenya, an initiative of the University of Nairobi, known as Central Kenya Response - Integration, Strengthening and Sustainability plus Project (CRISSP).[11]

In 2013, Zack Kìnùthia joined the presidential campaign in support of the Presidential candidate Uhuru Kenyatta and later involved himself in the formation of the Jubilee Party and President Uhuru’s re-election youth campaign.[12]

Zack Kìnùthia was appointed as the Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) for Education on January 15, 2020, by President Uhuru Kenyatta alongside Mumina Bonaya. He was sworn in on 17 January of the same year at State House and took the oath of office in the presence of Education Cabinet Secretary Prof. George Magoha.[13] Kìnùthia, who had been known for his "over-the-top afro" hairstyle, had his hair cut short before being sworn in.[14]

The CAS commitments include vocational education expansion, the roll-out of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) and the 100% transition from primary to secondary school.

Kìnùthia is the first appointee and second to hold the position after Prof. Collete A. Suda, Ph.D. He became the youngest person serving in that position. [14] Kìnùthia says he had no prior knowledge of his appointment and first heard of it when President Uhuru announced it on radio.[15]

Previously, he was part of the committee of organizers of the National Prayer Breakfast Meeting in the country and travelled to the United States for experiential learning courtesy of the US Prayer Breakfast scholarship.[16]

Kìnùthia was later moved to the Ministry of Sports, Culture, and Heritage.[17] In February 2022, he resigned from the CAS Ministry of Sports, Culture, and Heritage to contest for the Kigumo parliamentary seat under the Party of National Unity (Kenya).[3][4] He lost the race to Joseph Munyoro of UDA, with 27,213 votes compared to Kìnùthia's 10,543 votes.[18]
