A Chinese contractor blocks Mombasa Deputy County Commissioner Charles Monari, journalists and other government officials from leaving a project site in Likoni on August 12. Fooling with officers of the Provincial Administration before it was restructured under the 2010 Constitution was akin to playing with fire. “This service-oriented entity was the government’s eyes on the field and it could apply force when necessary,” former long serving Provincial Commissioner Joseph Kaguthi said yesterday. The new head of what was formerly known as a district but now called a sub-County is called a deputy county commissioner abbreviated as DCC. An addition to the NGAO structure not in the previous system is a non-remunerated grassroots position working under the assistant chiefs called the sub-area manager.
