Kisii Governor James Ongwae has unveiled a new County Public Service Board that will serve for the next six years, following the expiry of the previous board's term in July this year.
The new board members, who took their oath of office on Wednesday, are Evans Mamboleo (Chairman), John Ndege, Jeriah Bosibori, Jackson Bogonko, Nancy Nyang'anyi, and Patrick Bogonko.
According to Governor Ongwae, the board members are highly qualified and represent the six sub-ethnic communities of the Gusii community, with the two-thirds gender rule in public appointments observed.
Speaking during the swearing-in ceremony, Governor Ongwae praised the new team, saying they should ensure their work is beyond reproach.
He also announced plans to conduct fresh job evaluations for all cadres in the county government early next year to ensure efficiency.
Deputy Governor Joash Maangi called on the new board members to work as a team, while Governor Ongwae warned that he would not hesitate to invoke his powers if they failed to meet expectations.
