Uasin Gishu County Assembly Approve Governor Bii's Cabinet

The Uasin Gishu County Assembly has approved the nomination of 10 individuals to serve in various departments as County Executive Committee Members (CECMs).

Governor Jonathan Bii Chelilim had early in October nominated the 10 to be members of his cabinet after which the names were forwarded to the County Assembly for vetting.

Assembly’s Committee on Appointment chaired by Speaker Phillip Muigei vetted the nominees mid-last month after which they drafted a report that was submitted on Wednesday morning.

In their report, the committee recommended the approval of all the nominees.

The MCAs agreed with the report and unanimously approved them, paving way for their formal appointment by Governor Chelilim.

They are expected to take an oath of office and start serving in their respective docket as soon as possible.

The new cabinet is made of four women.
