CoG unveils Mary Mwiti as new chief executive

The Council of Governors has unveiled Mary Mwiti as its new chief executive officer.

Mwiti replaces Jacqueline Mogeni, who was appointed a judge of the High Court.

Wambora also announced that COG will hold its annual elections on January 27, 2022.

“This will be the last election under the current regime and will be responsible for ensuring a smooth transition of the leadership of the Council,” Wambora said.

During a press briefing on Monday, the Council took issue with the Commission on Revenue Allocation for lowering the recurrent expenditure ceiling for the counties from the current Sh62.36 billion to Sh61.96 billion.

“We also note that the county assemblies draft  budget ceilings for the financial year 2022-23 have not provided for induction costs of the new leadership coming in after the 2022 General Election,” he said.
