In her new capacity, she is expected to support the Chairperson in providing strategic leadership, guiding policy implementation, and strengthening coordination in the execution of the Commission’s constitutional mandate.

With more than two decades of experience in human resource management and organisational leadership, Kisire brings extensive expertise from both the public and private sectors.
