By CHARLES LWANGAMore by this AuthorKilifi Governor Amason Kingi has suffered a setback after the county assembly passed a motion revoking the appointment of five chief officers he had reappointed. The motion tabled by Watamu ward MCA George Baya said the governor had appointed the five chief officers without vetting and approval by the County Assembly as required by law. The chief officers are Kenneth Kazungu (Roads), Adan Mohamed (Devolution), Joseph Nguzo (Lands), Patience Tsimba (Trade) and Kombe Ngari (Water). “The chief officers were subjected to the interview and we were waiting the names to be brought to the assembly but the executive skipped the procedure that is why we are here today,” said Mr Baya. “In the event that the governor refuses to recall the chief officers as the assembly has directed, we shall use legal ways to drive them out of office,” he said.
