Lusaka shakes up Cabinet, sends stern warning
In a decisive move to reinvigorate service delivery in Bungoma County, Governor Kenneth Lusaka has sent shockwaves through his Cabinet with a major reshuffle aimed at optimising performance and fostering teamwork.
Addressing the press on Friday, Lusaka spoke tough on the need for effective service, citing a lack of cohesion within his team that had hindered progress despite previous efforts to build unity through meetings, workshops, and seminars.
“My commitment to seamlessly deliver services to the people of Bungoma remains at the top of my agenda,” Lusaka declared, noting that while progress had been made, there was potential to do much better.
“As a government that is almost halfway through its term, we do not have the luxury of time or patience to keep our people waiting for service delivery,” he emphasized.
Lusaka highlighted his determination to assemble a team that not only understands but also fully shares in his vision for the county’s development.
He announced a reshuffle to ensure optimal performance, citing considerations of regional and gender balance as well as individual competencies.
The changes include the appointment of Engineer Agnes Wachiye as the new County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Education, Dr. Monica Fedha as CECM for Trade, Mr. Benedict Emachar as CECM for Gender, and Dr. Wamamili Wanyonyi as CECM for Public Service.
Lusaka further announced new appointments at the Chief Officer level, with Beatrice Nakhumicha taking over Youth and Sports, while Timothy Wanjala assumes the role of Chief Officer for Cooperatives.
The Governor assured the public that these moves are rooted in a steadfast commitment to uphold the law and deliver improved services to Bungoma’s residents.
“I need a team that not only understands but also shares my vision and is willing to go the full hog to realize the same,” Lusaka reiterated.
