The Isiolo County government has been subjected to sweeping changes after Governor Abdi Hassan Guyo announced a reshuffle 'aimed at improving service delivery' just days after surviving an impeachment attempt. In a reshuffle detailed in Executive Order No. 1 of 2025 issued on September 1, the governor, through County Communication Coordinator Hussein Salesa, revealed the changes would take effect immediately. The sweeping changes saw three acting County Executive Committee (CEC) members take on expanded responsibilities, with the county aiming to consolidate functions and enhance cooperation across key departments. As part of the changes, Lawrence Mwongela Ikiamba was appointed as acting CEC for Water, Energy, Climate Change, Mining and Natural Resources.
