Minister suspended for 2 months

Machakos
Governor Dr. Alfred Mutua has set a new record by ruthlessly punishing one of
his ministers in the latest Cabinet Reshuffle.

The
no-nonsense governor cracked the whip on County Administration and
Decentralised Units CEC Titus Kavila,
suspending him for two months in an unprecedented move.

In
the changes thar were made on Friday, 17 Jul 2020, the county boss also issued
a warning letter to the Economic Planning and External Resources Mobilization Chief
Officer, Romana Mwende.

Kavila’s troubles
began in March 2020 when the governor read the riot act to his ministers before
serving him with a warning letter.

In the dress-down, Mutua accused some of his officials of laziness, adding that his administration would not tolerate the habit.

“Government decisions and
executive directives must be obeyed and carried out to the letter. Altering
them to fit one’s personal agenda or self-serving interpretation will not be
tolerated,” Mutua stated at the
time.

In the
changes that were announced today, Trade Industrialization and
Innovation CEC Francis Mwaka has been
moved to the Tourism, Youth, Sports and Culture docket with Lazarus Kivuva taking over the slot.

Roads, Transport and Public Works CEC Morris Omuyoma has been moved to the Water, Irrigation,
Environment and Natural Resources with
Naomi
Mutie replaced him at the Roads docket. 

Ruth Nduku who was
previously in charge of the Tourism docket has been transferred to the Education,
Skills Training and Social Welfare
docket.
