Kapkea brings a wealth of experience to the deputy governor’s office. He previously served as a Member of the County Assembly for Tembelio Ward, where he chaired the Trade, Industrialization, Tourism, and Investment Committee and was involved in several key legislative areas, including Budget and Finance, Health, and Delegated Legislation.
An alumnus of the University of Eldoret, Kapkea holds a Bachelor of Science in Analytical Chemistry and is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in the same field at Moi University.
Governor Bii also took the opportunity to acknowledge the contributions of former Deputy Governor Barorot, whose leadership and work in advancing key county projects helped lay the groundwork for the new administration’s ambitions.
With the swearing-in of Hon. Kapkea, Uasin Gishu County enters a new era of leadership, with both the county’s residents and leaders hopeful for continued development and prosperity under the guidance of Governor Bii’s leadership.
