Ruto CS Fires 6 Officials, Hires 61 Others In MAJOR Shake Up
Davis Chirchir, the Transport Cabinet Secretary, has made 61 appointments and canceled six previous appointments to County Transport and Safety Committees.
In a notice published in the Kenya Gazette on June 13, the CS announced that the 61 will serve on various county committees.
“In exercise of the powers conferred by section 21 of the National Transport and Safety Act, the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport appoints the persons whose names appear in the second column of the First Schedule under the Sub-section specified in the third column to be Members of the County Transport and Safety Committees of the respective counties with effect from the 13th December, 2024,” part of the notice read.
The majority of the new appointees are divided into six groups to serve in Mombasa, West Pokot, Tana River, Busia, Wajir, Siaya, Laikipia, Nyeri, and Kajiado counties.
Marsabit and Kakamega counties each received two appointees, while Kisii, Meru, and Machakos counties received one.
Aside from the new nominations, Chirchir canceled the earlier appointments of six committee members from five counties in the same published notice.
“The appointments of the persons whose names appear in the second column of the Second Schedule who were appointed as Members of County Transport and Safety Committees indicated in the third column vide the Gazette Notice indicated in the fourth column are revoked,” the notice read.
The axe was handed out to two people from Kakamega and one each from Marsabit, Machakos, Meru, and Kisii.
The six were appointed in a similar gazette notice in 2024 to serve a three-year term beginning February 16, 2024.
The cause for the revocation, which occurred just over a year into their tenure, has not been revealed.
