In the reshuffle effected from February 11 by Interior and National Coordination Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho, some DCCs have been recalled to the office of the President for deployment.

"The transfers are normal as the officers have a role to play in matters pertaining security and coordination of the national government services in sub-counties," said the PS.
