Governor Sakaja reshuffles cabinet

In an effort to streamline Nairobi County’s executive functions, Governor Johnson Sakaja has reshuffled his cabinet.

This marks Sakaja’s second reshuffle since assuming office in August 2022.

The reshuffle saw Stephen Mwangi, who was the CEC Built Environment and Urban Planning, move to Borough Administration.

Replacing Mwangi at Built Environment and Urban Planning will be Patrick Mbogo, who was previously in charge of Boroughs.

Brian Mulama, formerly in charge of Mobility and Works, has been reassigned to Talent, Skills Development, and Care.

Ibrahim Auma, who was previously at Green Nairobi, is now in charge of the Mobility and Works docket.

Green Nairobi is now under Maureen Njeri, who was formerly in charge of Business and Hustler Opportunities.

Dr. Anastasia Nyalita, previously handling Inclusivity and Public Participation, will now manage Business and Hustler Opportunities.

Rosemary Kariuki shifts from Talent, Skills Development, and Care to Inclusivity, Public Participation, and Customer Service.

CECs who have retained their positions include Michael Gumo (Innovation and Digital Economy) Charles Kerich (Finance and Economic Affairs) and Suzzane Silantoi ( Health).

Sakaja's cabinet was sworn in on December 8, 2022, after being approved by the county assembly.

A county executive committee shall implement county legislation. 

This means that the committee is responsible for ensuring that laws passed by the county assembly are put into action effectively.

Additionally, the committee shall implement national legislation within the county to the extent that the legislation requires it. This involves executing national laws at the local level as mandated.

The committee is also tasked with managing and coordinating the functions of the county administration and its departments. This includes overseeing various administrative tasks and ensuring that all departments work harmoniously.

Finally, the county executive committee shall perform any other functions conferred on it by the Constitution or national legislation.
