Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen on Friday, April 11, directed that chiefs with degrees be promoted to assistant county commissioners.
Murkomen, while issuing a raft of new administrative directives, also revealed that each sub-county would have two principal chiefs and officers in marginalised areas would be transferred after three years.
As per the CS, the moves were aimed at streamlining administrative leadership, particularly at the county level.
While addressing residents at Tana River during the 5th Jukwaa la Usalama town hall meeting, Murkomen noted that the reforms would ensure a motivated workforce that was aligned to the needs of citizens.
