The County Assembly of Uasin Gishu last week passed a motion to restructure all its committees as well as its leadership.
It is a move that saw new committees put up with some getting new leadership.
The restructuring process also saw all nominated Members of County Assembly (MCAs) lose the chairperson positions they were holding.
Nominated MCA Jenny Too who was the deputy leader of the majority was the biggest casualty as she lost her position and was replaced by Megun MCA Julius Sang.
An MCA who sought anonymity said removing nominated MCAs from leadership positions was meant to strengthen the assembly's leadership.
The leader of Majority remains Karuna/Mebeki MCA Josphat Lowoi with David Sing’oei (Ng’enyilei) being the Majority Chief Whip and Cheptiret/Kipchamo MCA Gilbert Tenai as his deputy.
Here is the full list of Committee chairs and their deputies that was approved by the assembly on Thursday;
