Embu Governor Martin Wambora has made significant changes to his chief officers in a move aimed at revitalizing the operations of the county government.
According to a press release from the governor's communication department, the reshuffle is intended to improve efficiency and service delivery in the county.
“My administration is intent on improving on service delivery. My resolve to serve the people and leave a legacy that is unstoppable,” Governor Wambora said.
Among the changes, Jane Mugambi, the former Chief Officer for Public Service, has been moved to Gender, Children, Culture and Social Services. Damiano Muthee, who was in charge of Finance, will now oversee Early Childhood Development.
