Ruto Proposes Directive to AUC to Conclude Review of 42 Entities In First Assignment for Mahmoud Yousouff

President William Ruto on Sunday, February 16, proposed one of the first assignments for the newly sworn-in African Union Commission (AUC) Chairperson Mahmoud Ali Yousouff.

While delivering his report on AU institutional reforms on the sidelines of the 38th Ordinary Assembly of the AU, Ruto proposed that the Permanent Representatives Committee (PRC), tasked with assessing 42 AU entities earmarked for reforms, be directed to conclude their report by July. "Excellencies, it is evident that progress has been made in restructuring AU organs, institutions, and offices.

Of the 57 AU entities earmarked for reform, 42 have been assessed, and the report is currently under consideration by the Permanent Representatives Committee (PRC)," part of the statement read. "I, therefore, propose that this Assembly direct the PRC, with the support of the AUC, to conclude its review of the 42 entities and submit a report to the Executive Council during its session in July 2025."
