Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi and Land Cabinet Secretary Alice Wahome have made significant changes in their ministries.
These changes, announced in a Gazette Notice dated September 6, 2024, have resulted in the dismissal of several top officials and the appointment of new ones. At the Treasury Ministry, CS Mbadi has dismissed four members of the Kenya National Entrepreneurs Savings Trust (KNEST). Martha Opisa Okochil, Louis Karisa, Ruth Jerotich, and Tom Okundi have been replaced by new appointees representing various sectors. Irene Githiga will now represent the Federation of Matatu Drivers and Conductors Association, Kevin Bwire Mubadi the Kenya National Boda Boda Association, Joseph Kisoro Ogola the Kenya National Federation of Jua Kali Association, and Teresia Njenga the Mitumba Association.
These new trustees will serve for a period of three years, effective from September 6, 2024. KNEST, a national pension scheme established to assist informal sector workers in securing their post-retirement future, is expected to benefit from the fresh perspectives brought by these appointments. Concurrently, in the Land Ministry, CS Wahome has made substantial changes to the Lamu West Land Control Board. Eight officials, including Julia Wamboi Njuguna, Ali Omar Mohammed, Simon Muguro Mwarania, Julia Wamaitha Kimani, John Mbugua Njoka, Zeinabu Gobu Wako, James Muriithi Ngiriri, and Cecilia Wanjiku Ng’ang’a, have been dismissed.
The newly appointed members include Samoe Farouk Fadhil, County Physical Planner, Moses Kiarie Wanjiku, Omar Bakari Ibrahim, Nasra Abdurehman Omar, Biha Wanje Baya, Maalim Fadhili Maalim, and Abubakar Masoud Rashid. These appointees will serve for a period of two years and six months, also effective from September 6, 2024. The Land Control Board plays a crucial role in regulating land transactions and ensuring land use aligns with national and county development plans. The Treasury Ministry has been focusing on economic reforms and improving public fund management. The changes in KNEST are part of broader efforts to ensure effective management of public resources and delivery of benefits to intended recipients.
Similarly, the Land Ministry has been grappling with land management issues, including land grabbing and disputes. The new appointments to the Lamu West Land Control Board are anticipated to bring a fresh approach to addressing these challenges and ensuring transparent and lawful land transactions.
I read somewhere that all…
I read somewhere that all those who were fired were hired by other CS’s.
Mbandi and Mûthoni are not…
Mbandi and Mûthoni are not ashamed publicly sacking junior clerks.They should have explained how they shared the shs 27b edible oil scandal.The two(one as a woman and the other one ODM thug) must tell Kenyans how Wavinya Ndeti stole taxpayers’ shs 725m.only to be arrested by a teller in a UK bank.
Is this Teresia Njenga who…
Is this Teresia Njenga who has a Church in Nairobi? People are taken for a ride at casting demons. Well behaved demons that follow all the rules until they are asked their names from there they start talking. Well behaved demons that sing praise and worship and listen to the summons until the service is over.
Comrades,
Hopefully this is…

Hopefully this is not like Mois era.
