County commissioners next on the chopping board after regional commissioners

County commissioners are perceived to have supported the Azimio coalition in the August polls will be next on the chopping board after the regional commissioners.
MPs who had sought the changes in a contentious meeting with President William Ruto and his deputy Rigathi Gachagua have applauded the Kenya Kwanza administration’s decision to recall all regional commissioners to the Office of the President for redeployment.
This comes after a meeting between December 5 and 6 where the Kenya Kwanza MPs had given President Ruto the names of some of the administrators they wanted to be fired for supporting Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party leader Raila Odinga in the August 9 General Election.
The lawmakers also complained that some of the administrators frustrated them when they were campaigning.
And after the recall of the regional commissioners, Kenya Kwanza lawmakers disclosed that the next ones on the chopping board will be county commissioners and later deputy county commissioners.

Belgut MP Nelson Koech, a senior member of President Ruto’s inner circle, told Nation that the reshuffle has vindicated the legislators who had asked for the restructuring of the officials, noting that the move is a message to those in the lower cadres.
“One of the promises by which President Ruto came to office was reorienting the provincial administration to be more focused on facilitating service delivery to Kenyans rather than running political errands.”
“This change inevitably had to begin at the top for those at the lower echelons to get the message. It is refreshing to see the journey of reimagining the role of this important cadre of public service has begun in earnest. I applaud the CS Interior Prof Kithure Kindiki for taking the bold step and I thank the President for being humane enough to host the regional commissioners and inform them of the upcoming changes in time. Of course, those of us who made appeals for the recall stand vindicated because it is the right thing to do,” said Mr. Koech, who is also the chairperson of the Defence, Intelligence, and Foreign Relations Committee.
