Members of County Assembly for Kajiado had to burn the midnight oil on Tuesday to ensure Governor Joseph ole Lenku list of nominees to the cabinet are vetted and approved.

Kajiado now becomes the second county, after Nairobi, to endorse the formation of a full cabinet.The Tuesday vetting surprised many since it took less than 20 minutes to vet all the 13 chief officers.

“After weeks of lobbying, we decided to unite as Kajiado Maasai and support the governor by approving all his nominees," said Mosiro MCA Peter Tirishe of ODM. 

"This county is larger than the interestof an individual. By rejecting what the governor has proposed is like rejecting the will of the people who elected Lenku," he added.

Executives that were to be sworn are Jackline Koin (Tourism), Samuel Seki (Education), Florence Waiganjo (Water), Alais Kisota (Public Service) and Alvin Kimani (Youth and Gender).

The chief officers are Morris Kaaka (Finance), Moses Murunya (Lands), Douglas Konana (Water), Jacob Sampeke (Medical Services) and Edah Wakaba (Public Health and Sanitation).

The others are Francis Ngure (Education), Jackson Matanta (ICT), James Sankale (Environment), Grace Saitoti (Trade), Samson Parashina (Cooperatives Development), Simon Kamakei (Youth and Sports) and Benson Leyian (Governor's Delivery Unit).
