Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has announced the reshuffle of 204 Deputy County Commissioners (DCCs), a major change that will affect all regions in the country.
Since the Kenya Kwanza administration assumed control on August 9, 2022, following the General Election, this is the first major reorganisation to be announced.
The modifications will go into effect right away, the ministry stated in a press release on Friday.
Moranga Morekwa has been moved to Mbita, with the new stations of Joseph Kimutai being Mathira East, Harun Kamau (Etago), Jackson Omondi (Khwisero), Paul Waweru (PA/ County Commissioner Murang’a), Dolphin Wanzala (Kiminini), Ahmed Somo (Marakwet East), Kennedy Mwangome (Narok Central), Philip Kiplagat (Embakasi), and Abraham Kemboi (Luanda).
Geoffrey Tanui was transferred to Loitktok, Ahmed Mohamud (Narok East), Lilian Jerop (Kesses), Rebecca Muturi (Mbeere North), Gideon Ombongi (Turkana South), Hillary Koech (Habaswein), Abaraham Laikera (Laikipia West), Stanley Mutua (Konoin), Anneta Mwangi (Tseikuru), and Titus Murei (Mandera North).
Other DCCs based at the ministry’s headquarters affected by the reshuffle include Wilson Ole Saaya, who has been moved to PA as the Central Regional Commissioner, Gerald Mutuku to PA/County Commissioner, Kitui, John Chirchir (Markwet West), David Lusava (Malindi), Johnstone Kigen (PA/Regional Commander, Nyanza), Philip Soy (Marigat), Grace Aketch (Kisii South), Elizabeth Ocholi (Seme), Stanley Kimanga (Buna), Patrick Musango (Isiolo); and Martin Mauki (Kieni East).
Other DCCs in Kenya, such as Abdihakim Jubat from Trans-Mara South, Angela Makau from Ithanga, and Evans Wendot from PA to Nairobi Regional Commissioner, have also been summoned from their various posts to the ministry’s headquarters.
The adjustments occur about 16 months after 132 DCCs were reshuffled by former Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho in February of last year.
In the country’s regions, counties, and sub-counties, the DCCs, which fall under the Ministry of Interior and National Administration, are in charge of governing and implementing policies.
