Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has announced a fresh shake-up in his administration, reassigning 10 chief officers in a move he says is meant to streamline service delivery across county departments.

The changes, which take effect immediately, see officers shifted to new roles as the county seeks to strengthen management in key sectors.

In a notice dated November 18, Sakaja confirmed that Geoffrey Mosiria has been moved from the Environment docket and will now head Citizen Engagement and Customer Service.

The Environment docket will be taken over by Hibrahim Otieno, who previously served in the Medical Facilities department.

According to the governor, the reshuffle was carried out under Section 45(5) of the County Government Act 2012, which allows for reorganisation within county departments.

The changes cut across multiple sectors, including housing, digital economy, mobility and social services.

Godfrey Akumali, who had been in Business and Hustler Opportunities, has been reassigned to Housing and Urban Renewal.

Tony Michale Kimani moves from Social Services to head the Social Services and Estate Management sector.

Former Housing and Urban Renewal chief officer Lydia Mathia shifts to the Business and Hustler Opportunities docket, while Sande Oyolo, who was leading Digital Economy and Start Ups, has been moved to Medical Facilities.

The Digital Economy and Start Ups docket will now be overseen by Wilson Gakuya, previously in charge of Smart Nairobi.

In the mobility sector, Mache Waikenda has been retained in the docket and appointed Acting ICT Infrastructure head.

Clement Rapudo, who headed the City’s Culture, Arts and Tourism sector, moves to Smart Nairobi.

The reshuffle also places Zipporah Mwangi in the City Culture, Arts and Tourism docket after leaving Citizen Engagement and Customer Service.

Chief officers serve as the administrative heads of county departments.

They are responsible for day-to-day management, implementing county policies, supervising staff and ensuring their departments deliver services effectively.

They report to the County Executive Committee Member in their respective sectors.
