Uhuru Re-shuffles Regional Commissioners

Written by Henry Kimoli 

Nairobi and Rift Valley regions have gotten new Regional Commissioners in changes announced by Office of the President.

Also affected were Western, Eastern, Central and North Eastern regions. 

The new Nairobi RC will be William Kangethe Thuku who was two weeks ago named the Chief Administrative Secretary for Correctional Services.

The new Rift Valley RC will be Makueni County Commissioner Mohamed Maalim. 

This follows the resignation of George Natembeya from Rift Valley as the RC to seek to be elected as Trans Nzoia County governor.

Eastern RC Isaiah Nakoru was moved to Western in the same capacity and replaced by Narok County Commissioner Evans Achoki on a promotional basis.

Western’s RC Esther Maina was moved to Central in the same capacity while Nairobi’s James Kianda was sent to North Eastern to replace Nicodemus Ndalana who was recalled to Harambee House.

Central RC Wilfred Nyangwanga was recalled to Harambee House.

Even though he resigned, Natembeya was moved to Harambee House where he will clear his way out.
