Upon approval by the committee, the names of the four nominees would then be forwarded to the County Assembly for further consideration. The Assembly will have 21 days to consider the nominations.
“Under Section 58A (8), the Assembly shall, within 21 days from June 17, 2025, consider each nomination received from the Governor, and approve or decline,” read the notice.
If approved by the County Assembly, Macharia and the fellow nominees would take up the roles for the next five years, renewable upon the expiry of their contracts.
Macharia’s nomination comes a fortnight after she proceeded on annual leave, pending her formal retirement from TSC on June 30. She was replaced by Evaleen Mitei, who is currently serving in an acting capacity.
In an internal memo dated June 1, Macharia wrote, “I am proceeding on a terminal leave from today, June 1 2025, pending my retirement from the Commission on June 30, 2025.
She added, “In the meantime, note that the commission has appointed Ms Eveleen Mitei to act as Commission Secretary/CEO pending the appointment of a successor.”
Her departure marked the end of a remarkable career at the helm of the Commission, during which she served in various capacities within the Ministry of Education.
