“The changes should take effect immediately and the Executive Members should take their work with the seriousness it deserves.”
According to Nairobi Deputy Director of Communications, Elkana Jacob, Sonko had to effect the changes for better service delivery.
“The Governor is after effective service delivery. People should not read too much in this, it is purely to make Nairobi County more productive,” he said.
The Governor has maintained Hitan Majevdia in the Health docket, Allan Igambi as the Tourism Exexutive and Janet Ouko in the Education, Youth, Gender and Sports.
