Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga reshuffles Cabinet

Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga has reshuffled his cabinet. This comes three months after making changes in the health and lands departments.

Finance CEC Robert Thuo will also head the Health services department in acting capacity following the resignation of Dr Kwai Wanjaria.

Dr Wanjaria was transferred from the Lands department to replace Dr Rachael Kamau who was sent on compulsory leave.

“Dr Kamau has left to pursue personal interests and I have accepted her resignation,” Governor Kahiga said.

Ms Beth Karimi, who had also been sent on mandatory leave alongside Dr Kamau, has been reinstated. She heads the Lands, Urbanisation and Physical Planning department.

Ms Beatrice Koech was named Lands acting chief officer following the resignation of Ms Hannah Maranga.

Mr Kahiga said Ms Maranga had been recalled to Kiambu County to serve in the same capacity.

“Her contract ended and she went back to Kiambu,” he said.

The governor maintained that the priority for the lands department was to complete and transfer traders to the new bus terminus. He assigned the Health Chief Officer Adan Adim to head the transition committee alongside Ms Karimi and Ms Koech.

“Mr Adan was instrumental in the resettling in of traders in Karatina and Chaka markets, so he will continue working on this to ensure a seamless transfer of traders to the new market,” he said.

Mr Kahiga dismissed allegations that the reshuffle was political. He said that the changes were meant to improve service delivery.
