Former Rift Valley Regional Commissioner, George Natembeya, has explained why he was redeployed to the Office of the President immediately after resigning. On Wednesday, January 12, Natembeya announced his resignation in order to concentrate his efforts in the Trans Nzoia county gubernatorial contest. He also explained that he has accrued many leave days that will serve as resignation notice while some will be utilised in the clearance process. "I had accrued so many leave days, so many of these exiting procedures will be covered within the leave days, that is why you see I have been deployed to the OP headquarters, but basically I have resigned." Natembeya was replaced by Makueni County Commissioner, Mohamed Ahmed Maalim.
