I together with my deputy Honorable Fatuma Achani take this opportunity on behalf of the people of Kwale to express our heartfelt gratitude to the President H.E. Uhuru Kenyatta for considering Kwale and the coast region in the recent nominations for appointment to senior government positions.
As Governor of this County I want to thank the President for appointing Hon. Safina Kwekwe Tsungu to the position of Principal Secretary (PS) for Gender and Prof. Hamadi Boga as Permanent Secretary for Agriculture and Research.
As a region we are further honored by the appointments of Hon. Najib Balala –CS Tourism, Hussein Dado and Hon. Gideon Mung’aro as Chief Administrative Secretaries in the ministries of Devolution and Lands respectively, Margaret Mwakima as Permanent Secretary for Wildlife and Mr Dan Kazungu as High Commissioner to the Republic of Tanzania.
These appointments have elicited joy amongst the people of Kwale County and the Coast region at large. This clearly demonstrates the confidence of the President and his Deputy in spurring the coastal development agenda.
I thus want to urge the people of this region to remain steadfast in supporting the national government.I call on all citizens and leadership of the region to focus on addressing the challenges that affect our counties.
We are confident that these nominees have the requisite qualifications to deliver the national agenda to all Kenyans.
Finally I want to wish all the appointees all the very best as they prepare themselves for the process of vetting by the National Assembly.
God Bless Us all.H.E SalimMvuryaGovernorKwale County."
