Three women have been proposed by the Nakuru county government in the positions of County Executive Committee members (CECs) in a 10-member list that has been tabled before county Assembly for vetting.

The three are Eng.Lucy Wanjiku Kariuki (proposed CEC for Lands, Housing and Physical Planning), Dr.Immaculate Njuthe Maina (proposed CEC for Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Co-operatives) and Halima Gababa Abdullahi (proposed CEC for Youth, Culture, Gender, Sports and Social Services).

Others who have been proposed include Lawrence Mwangani Mwania(Public Service,Training and devolution), Joseph Wainaina Kiuna(Finance and Economic Planning), Joseph Irungu Mburu(Infrastructure) and Dr.Jonah Manjari Mwangi(Health Services).

Raymond Komen Kimutai has been proposed for Education, ICT and E-Government, Eng.Festus Ng’eno(Water,Environment,Energy and Natural Resources while Dr.PETER Evans Kiplang’at has been proposed for Trade, Industry, Marketing and Tourism.

Addressing media in his office on Thursday morning, Nakuru Governor Lee Kinyanjui stated that he was optimistic the proposed names will  sail through at the Assembly level to allow them proceed with their duties.

“This is the brief summary of the people who will be working for the county. We have already submitted the same to the county and we hope that they will be approved so that they can proceed to serve the people” he said.

In 2013 former Nakuru Governor Kinuthia Mbugua faced a set back after the county Assembly rejected some of the names proposed forcing a fresh exercise on the same.

Kinyajui said the Chief Officers’ list in various ministries is expected latest by Thursday next week.

“We are currently working round the clock and am sure by next week Thursday the proposed list for Chief Officers will be out” he said.
