“The nominations and changes are made to enhance service delivery and optimal performance in the county. The move will also help us fill the vacant positions,” Wanga said in the notice.
The reshuffle comes only two months after Polycarp Okombo, the county’s trade executive, was elected Speaker of the Homa Bay County Assembly.
The governor announced the restructuring, saying the changes were required, especially after Okombo’s departure.
“We have some of the best people in the government,” the governor said. “Once in a while, you check around and move people from one place to another.”
“This assembly took away one of my people (Okombo) to become Speaker, and I had to look for an equally diligent officer for trade.”
