Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr. Fred Matiang’i has reshuffled regional coordinators and county commissioners in a move he says was well consulted with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The CS said the changes are geared towards enhancing service delivery as well as providing elaborate security for Kenyans.
“Following close consultations with the president, and in the interest of enhancing service delivery and strengthening security, I have made the following deployments and transfers,” said the CS in a gazette notice dated February 2 according to the Star.
