During the vetting, Isaboke pledged to maintain the rule of law while carrying out his mission to defend press freedom and speech.
He also welcomed conversations to ensure that his tenure runs smoothly and that all parties are involved in restoring order to the media.
“Media freedom and freedom of speech are enshrined in our constitution and no one can touch them…,” he said.

He added: “Media freedom is embedded in the Constitution. If there are instances of tension or misunderstandings between the media and other establishments, state or otherwise, the first intervention should be engagement.”
If confirmed, Isaboke will succeed outgoing Professor Edward Kisiang’ani, who was designated as senior advisor and member of the President’s Council of Economic Advisors.
Mr Isaboke was nominated by President William Ruto late last month, following a Cabinet shuffle.
