President William Ruto on Tuesday, May 23, accepted the resignation of Esther Ngero, Principal Secretary for Correctional Services, who is leaving office for personal reasons.
In a statement signed by the Head of Public Service Felix Koskei, the outgoing PS was recently reassigned from the State Department for Performance Management and Delivery Services in the Office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary to the State Department for Correctional Services within the Ministry of Interior & National Administration.
“His Excellency the President has received and accepted with regret the resignation of Ms Esther Ngero, Principal Secretary for Correctional Services, who is leaving the office for personal reasons,” reads the statement.
During her time in office, Ms. Ngero made significant contributions by establishing the institutional framework to support the implementation of Public Service Performance Management and Monitoring for Ministries, State Departments, and State Agencies (MDAs).
According to the Head of Public, her expertise as a certified accountant, coupled with her almost two-decade career in the petroleum sector, brought a unique perspective to the role of Principal Secretary.
Upon receiving Ms. Ngero’s resignation, President Ruto expressed his gratitude for her service to the nation and extended his well-wishes for her future endeavors.
The President acknowledged the dedication and effort she had invested in her role, despite the relatively short period of time she held the position.
