Governor Kimemia reshuflles cabinet at midnight

Nyandarua Governor Francis Kimemia (pictured) is at it again.

He again made changes to his county Executive Committee at midnight.

In what appears to be a ‘tradition’ of some sort, Mr. Kimemia made the changes but did not fire any members.

Last year, he made midnight changes that saw four of his executives sacked causing uproar among residents.

However, on the night of August 27, no member of his executive committee was fired.

Finance and Planning Committee Executive member Mary Mugwanja was moved to the Roads and Public works docket replacing Ndungu Wangenye.

Mr Wangenye, a former Laikipia Kuppet Executive Secretary has been moved to the Education docket.

Njoroge Mwaura, who was the acting County Secretary is now the Finance and Economic Planning Executive, while Dominic Murani who served in the Youth, Gender and Sports department will now be responsible for public administration. He swapped places with Ann Gathigia.

The Gender department previously under Education and Social Services department has since been transferred to the youth docket under the new development.

Agriculture and Livestock docket still remains under Dr James Karitu, Lands Housing and Physical Planning (Lawrence Mukundi), Health (Dr NJenga Mungai), Water, Environment and tourism (Milcah Wanjiru) and Industrialization Trade and Cooperatives (Raphael Njue).

The Urban development department was also moved from the lands and physical planning to Mr Njues department.

"This is to enable my government offer efficient services to the residents. The changes take effect immediately, " Kimemia said in a statement.
